2011 ZX-10R recall

Kawasaki is recalling the 2011 Ninja ZX-10R due to a potential problem with the bike’s wiring harness.

A company statement reads:

“As a precautionary measure, Kawasaki have initiated a recall on all units of 2011 Ninja ZX-10R (ABS and non-ABS) for an inspection of the machine's wiring harness.


“It has been observed that on some machines, the main harness can rub against the rear of the frame and, in extreme circumstances, cause damage to the loom.


“Whilst no machines in the UK have been reported with any wiring harness damage, Kawasaki Motors UK has initiated a recall and is sending letters to the registered owners of all 2011 Ninja ZX-10R units purchased from Kawasaki road bike dealers.


“The dealer inspection will take a maximum of twenty minutes and the harness will either be re-routed, repaired or replaced as necessary. All new and demo machines currently in dealer stock will also be inspected.”

This latest ZX-10R recall follows one at the end of last year, which was for surging intake valve springs. It affected bikes that had been delivered to customers in North America, and delayed the model’s European launch.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
