2025 Kawasaki Z H2 / ZR1000SNF VIN: [XXX] This motorcycle has experienced multiple serious mechanical failures at extremely low mileage, and I am concerned that it presents an ongoing safety risk. At approximately 2,259 miles, the transmission suffered a major failure requiring warranty repair. Following that repair, the motorcycle exhibited abnormal transmission behavior, including unexpectedly entering neutral or an apparent false neutral during quick-shift upshifts. This resulted in sudden loss of drive and engine over-revving. At approximately 4,200 miles, the motorcycle then suffered a catastrophic engine failure involving a dropped valve. The motorcycle was again returned for extensive warranty repair. After an extended period out of service, I picked the motorcycle up from the servicing dealer, RideNow Powersports [XXX], on XXX. The motorcycle still does not appear to be operating normally or safely. During the ride home immediately after receiving it from the dealer, the check-engine light illuminated and the motorcycle exhibited extremely severe vibration. The vibration was dramatically greater than normal and severe enough that I am concerned about continuing to operate the motorcycle. This motorcycle has therefore experienced a catastrophic transmission failure, abnormal gear engagement/false-neutral behavior following the transmission repair, a catastrophic dropped-valve engine failure, and now a check-engine warning and severe abnormal vibration immediately follo

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
