a few have had them repaired themselves, but Kawi was REPLACING the broken or cracked ones...

I thought they were replacing the frame with the
newer design gen2 zx14 frame.
There's a member who posts here often who
had the swap and never reported any issues with it.

yes you can go to kawi for this... the recall was ordered by the Feds... I dont think you'd have to put it back together.. it's your bike... if you want to take it apart you can - this should have no effect on the recall.
phone kawi directly.
