I've owned at least one vehicle in the past that should have been recalled and fixed by the manufacturer but it didn't happen. A far bigger shame in my eye.
Agreed...the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 line, which includes multiple models and years, has issues with the throttle that cause the bike to stutter and sometimes stall. Anyone familiar with Vulcans knows about it. In the Vulcan Forum there's lots of chatter about a 'throttle mod' that can be purchased to correct the problem.
It's ridiculous that Kawasaki has done nothing to correct this problem that has been known for years. Some guys feel it's no big deal to spend $100 on a home made mod to fix it but my feeling is that a brand new bike should be right, period.
I know there's lots of Harley bashing to be found on forums but kudos to them for acknowledging the need for this recall.
