So they did this complete recall of unsold units, and bought all sold units back for a full refund...
According to Kawasaki engineers, the problem with the ZX-10R arose when they found a "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."
because the bike might become a dog on the track?
That's pretty extreme, isn't it? Of course there may be a special Japanese definition of poor engine performance I'm not aware of.
I'm not buying.

does sound like, uh, marketing.
however they REALLY need this bike to perform from day 1 or they might as well stop making 1000cc sport bikes.

This could be a fuzz phrase for "the valves hit the pistons" when you miss a shift... or something

Kinda late for a first impression...no? I mean they already released, sold, and then recalled/repurchased all of them.
Seems like they closed the barn door after the cow got out.
I hope they catch her.

Yes, the valve may seat improperly.... especially after the spring breaks and the piston crunches the valve.
Surge in a valve spring is really bad for 'em.

Guess what's the cover bike on the issue of Motor Cyclist magazine that arrived in my mailbox today, with typically hyperbolic
advertising
editorial headlines? Some days it must really, really suck to be a magazine editor.

perhaps....
every other picture in the series looks like he can handle it...of course...the fact that alot more than 1 shows him on 1 wheel which could be a sign of hoon-ism which pushed his own envelope?!?!?!
