Kawasaki Z500 known problems
- Recall: clutch release shaft (2024): On Ninja 500 and Z500 models built between 22 January and 6 February 2024, the clutch release shaft can break because of the supplier's welding setting; the clutch will not disengage. Recalled in March 2025 (NHTSA 25V146), the shaft is being replaced free of charge; a similar warning was issued in Chile for Thailand-built 2024–2025 units.
- Recall: camshaft chain tensioner (2021 Ninja 400/Z400): A recall was carried out for the previous-model Z400 in the 2021 model year (including the 2020/21 Z400 in Australia) because a camshaft chain tensioner with faulty heat treatment created a risk of noise and stalling; the tensioner is being replaced free of charge.
When buying a used Kawasaki Z500
- Verify that the clutch release shaft recall was carried out on the 2024 Z500.
- If buying a Z400 (2020–2021), check the camshaft chain tensioner replacement from the service history.
