The ZX-10R is at the centre of a recall with rumours of ‘accelerated engine component wear’ being rumoured to be the problem. Kawasaki has remained completely silent on the actual reasons for the recall.

Lets just hope this rider doesn’t suffer ‘accelerated engine component wear’ at 189mph because that isn’t going to end well.
