Thanks for the information, I will keep an eye on our frames. I would not let this deter you from buying one of these bikes, as it appears to be an isolated issue and Kawasaki is addressing it.

Must have had the B-Team on the welders that day.   Wink

As always good or otherwise, it is good to have information like this out there.  Thumbsup

From the 650R board I believe only one US 650R was found to have this issue.  Still, its good to be aware of.
