I purchased a 2002 kawasaki zx 12 r, the color blue, this bike has never been in a accident, decided to change the color of the plastic, took off all plastic and found a crack in the seam of my frame. The crack in the frame caused the fuel ports to be off-line as well as the bike to be in operable and unsafe to myself or others on the rroad. When I checked on the availability of a frame from kawasaki, when I contacted kawasaki they said that the part is backordered, I believe this is a an attempt not to take responsibility for the manufacture defect. I now have a perfectly awesome bike that's in operable and unsafe, I am sure that there is a lot of other kawasaki owners who have suffered the same fate a perfectly good bike that does not work now because of of manufacture defect.
