    NHTSA 88V089000 Reported 1,497 vehicles potentially affected KAWASAKI MOTORS CORP.

    Rear wheel hub damper may slip out of position and become damaged during hard acceleration, allowing excessive movement between the hub coupling and the rear wheel hub.

    Remedy: Replace damper, if damaged; remove oil on rear hub and sprocket carrier; and install spacers in sprocket carrier to keep rear hub damper from deforming.
