What owners report
2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 frame broke in the same location as recall defect, causing rear suspension collapse. Dealer denied recall coverage due to modifications, but failure matches official recall issue. My 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 suffered a complete frame break, causing the rear suspension to collapse while riding. This matches the safety defect covered under Kawasakiâs recall for 2006â2007 ZX-14 models. I was told to tow my motorcycle to a dealer for recall repair and provided a log number. The dealer later denied coverage, claiming my modifications (lowered and stretched) caused the failure. This is not reasonable, as many ZX-14 owners have similar modifications without failure

APPLIED BRAKES ON A 2006 ZX1400 KAWASAKI TO NEGOTIATE A TURN IN THE ROAD. AT THAT TIME THE FRAME BROKE 3 TO 4 INCHES BEHIND THE TRIPLE CLAMPS. THIS CAUSED ME TO BE THROWN OVER THE HANDLEBARS AND ONTO THE ROAD IN THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 2 DAYS. THE FRAME HAS 4 HOLES IN IT FOR AIRCLEANERS AND THE RAM AIR INDUCTION.
