I think the photos speak for themselves but please ask more questions if you want

This is a video I made of this bike about a year ago, you can hear the clutch slip at 6,000 on full throttle. I have Barnett Springs here for it and you will get those along with the bike. I had not fitted them yet as for the break in period I preferred to keep the light clutch action.

Someone asked me to post photos of the frame and engine numbers, I have posted those, difficult to get a photo of the frame number. I also posted some other photos which show some small imperfections for your attention.

(1) there is a small dent in the front fender, this I did by accident when building the bike.
(2) There is a small mark on the front of the gas tank, my mechanic did this and I guess it was lifting the tank off and it hit on the steering nut. This is very hard to see on the bike.
(3) The gold trim on the seat cover is not quite right at the front.

Recall for 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Mon, 25 Jul 2011

A recall has been issued on the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R due to a problem with the wiring harness. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a portion of the wiring harness on some 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R models may get pinched between the subframe and the rear fender, or between the subframe and the bolt holding the seat cover. This may result in damage to the harness and wiring, potentially resulting in a short in the electrical system, which could cause the engine to suddenly stop.
