Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R known problems
- Recall: regulator/rectifier (2009–2012): A recall was carried out on the 2009–2012 ZX-6R and 2008–2011 ZX-10R because a manufacturing defect in the regulator/rectifier could cause overheating and erratic charging (battery drain) (NHTSA 12V064); the regulator was replaced free of charge.
- Recall: crankshaft bushing seizure (2024–2026): A recall was carried out in the USA on 2024–2026 ZX-6R models because the metal crankshaft bushing could seize and engine power could cut out while riding (NHTSA 25V376, expanded with 25V798; with a "do not ride" warning). The 2023–2025 ZX636J in Australia is also covered.
When buying a used Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
- On a 2024+ model, be sure to check using the chassis number that the crankshaft bushing recall repair has been carried out.
- On a 2009–2012 model, check that the regulator was replaced; have the charging voltage measured at idle and at higher revs.
- As there were no new sales in Europe between 2021 and 2023, be careful about the import/registration history in adverts for these years.
