What is wrong: Kawasaki is recalling certain my 2008 ex250j8f and ex250j8fl motorcycles. The front brake hose may be damaged over a long period of use. The brake hose tends to deflect forward during suspension travel. This allows the brake hose to contact the edge of the front fork outer tube.
Risk: Over time, this contact could damage the brake hose causing the brake fluid to leak and resulting in a lack of front brake performance. This can create the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the front brake hose bracket. The recall began on march 17, 2008. Owners may contact kawasaki at 1‑866‑802‑9381.
