Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- Kawasaki is recalling 487 my 2008 ex250j8f and ex250j8fl motorcycles. An engine crankcase vent hole in the air filter box may be blocked. If so, air pressure can build up inside the engine, causing the cylinder head cover gasket to fail and leak oil.
- Risk
- If enough oil leaks from the engine, it could drip or spray onto the rear tire. This can create the risk of a crash, possibly resulting in injury or death.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and repair the air filter box and replace the necessary components free of charge. The recall began on march 17, 2008. Owners may contact kawasaki at 1‑866‑802‑9381.
