Kawasaki ER-6f recall

26 July 2010
The ER-6f has been a great success, with thousands of satisfied owners. But now Kawasaki has become aware that on some units of 2009 and 2010 ER-6f models, the rider’s boot may contact the top edge of the lower right cowling when operating the brake pedal. In a limited number of cases this can obstruct the rider from operating the rear brake pedal effectively.
The company has decided to launch a recall campaign for affected machines, in both standard and ABS form, to replace the right hand foot guard and adjacent lower cowling bracket.

A recall letter will be sent to all warranty registered owners of eligible units asking them to contact their nearest authorised dealer to get the free of charge modifications done. The rectification work on each machine will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

If you don’t get a letter soon, contact your Kawasaki dealer and he’ll help sort you out.

That actually looks like a nice bike lol.

I've been swopping the heelplates and brackets on these bikes at work, it's probably down to some ham-footed yank who's crashed and blamed it on the fact your foot can come into contact with a little piece of the fairing. I've certainly never managed it on every newish ER6F I've ridden and none of the owners we've spoken to have noticed it happening. That shows when you look at the fairings and none of them are boot marked.

The work is simple to do and takes only 20 minutes. New bikes are arriving modified from the factory.
