What is wrong
On certain motorcycles, the bolt that attaches the steering damper body to the frame bracket may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly.

If the bolt loosens and backs out completely, the steering damper could inhibit free movement of the steering assembly causing a loss of steering control. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will tighten the steering damper bolt to the proper torque and inspect the damper movement. The recall began on april 28, 2006. Owners may contact kawasaki at 1‑866‑802‑9381.
