Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R recalled globally; Know what is the problem
Kawasaki Recall: Japanese superbike manufacturer Kawasaki (Kawasaki) has announced the worldwide recall of some models of its famous sports bike Ninja ZX-6R.
Japan's sports bike maker Kawasaki has issued a global recall of certain variants of its popular sports bike, Ninja ZX-6R. Kawasaki has done this because its serious engine-related technical flaws were discovered in some units of the 2024 and 2025 models. Kawasaki has specifically instructed current ZX-6R owners not to drive this bike until it is checked and fixed under the recall.
According to reports, the cause of this problem is the over-tightening of the crankshaft bolts in the engine during manufacturing. When the bolts are over-tightened, they directly affect the performance inside the engine. And this can also pose a safety risk while riding.
Due to reduced oil clearance around the crankshaft, wear inside the engine increases, and the risk of failure of its parts also increases. In some serious cases, this problem can cause the engine to suddenly seize while running. This can also prove to be a big danger for the rider and others on the road.
