Tech hold lifted?
From Superbikeplanet
http://superbikeplanet.com/2010/Dec/101230a.htm
IRVINE, Calif. (Dec. 29, 2010)---Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. today announced that the recent sales hold placed on the 2011 Ninja® ZX?-10R sportbike is expected to be lifted in late January and that sales of the highly-anticipated unit will resume as normal.
According to Kawasaki engineers, the proactive sales hold resulted from a finding that indicated possible surging of the intake valve spring when the unit is operated under unique riding conditions, such as on a racetrack. The surge could cause the intake valve to seat improperly, resulting in poor engine performance.
The camshaft, valve springs, and spring retainers are being replaced to prevent the valves from surging, without affecting engine performance.

It's not a news story, it's a republish of a press release from Kawasaki's marketing dept - tis real though my understanding none of the bikes have been worked on yet. ...
note the spin using the word "proactive" again, as well as this "possible surging of the intake valve spring when the unit is operated under unique riding conditions, such as on a racetrack."...
how is a racetrack a "unique riding condition" for a racebike?
