THIS IS REGARDING THE ZZR 1200 MODEL CAM PITTING. AT THE FIRST SERVICE INTERVAL, ON 05/31/05, 12 OF THE 16 CAM LOBES WERE SCUFFED. BY THE 3RD SERVICE INTERVAL THE CAM LOBES WERE PITTED. THIS WILL WEAR THE ROCKERS UNEVENLY, AND CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE. THERE ARE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED INCIDENTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY KAWASAKI. *TR

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.
