    Just a heads up about a recall on the abs model for anyone here that has one

    2013-07-19 (Published by NHTSA on 2013-07-25)
    Recall Summary: Kawasaki Motors Corp. is recalling certain model year 2013 EX300BDFAL motorcycles manufactured August 16, 2012, through April 2, 2013. Due to a manufacturing error, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) may malfunction and lose anti-lock functionality.
    Hazard: The anti-lock function may not perform properly allowing for wheel lock up and skidding, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy: Kawasaki will notify owners and dealers will replace the affected ABS pumps with a new assembly. The recall is expected to begin on, or about August 5, 2013. Owners may contact Kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381.
    Additional Info: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
