The kickstand spring gets week. Also the steel material that the kickstand attaches to wears off leaving the kickstand loose. It leaves the kickstand with the possibly of falling down with the risk of causing the rider to wreck and lose control of the motorcycle.

I HAVE A 2006 KAWASAKI 900 VULCAN THAT I BOUGHT LAST YEAR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I AM RIDING THE THROTTLE WILL STICK WHEN I LET GO OF IT. IT DOESN'T STICK IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION, ONLY PART THROTTLE BUT IT DOES SCARE ME. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON A KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLE FORUM BUT KAWASAKI DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT AND FIX IT. *JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
