Stop sale notice on All Kawasaki Teryx Vehicles

Will update more once we have more information..... but this is a big deal.

I would have thought so as well but 01680 is the highest VIN number I have heard of, if there were way more than 2000 out there you would think someone on all the Facebook groups would have responded as I posted that question on all the H2 related groups.

If I'm running that division and they bring me the pro formas and it says were gonna sell 300 units a month and falling after the initial release, then I'm not gonna green light the project. I'm gonna tell them to make some more KLRs, KXs and Ninjas..

They'll likely state the number of units affected in the actual recall. Then everyone can sit back and wait for their slightly redesigned replacement cast aluminum primary and new warranty. I think everyone hoping for a performance clutch is gonna be hanging their heads soon enough, but you aint getting anything special.

I honestly am of the opinion the original design is not flawed for a lot of owners. When a driver screams this beast something is going to give. Even the most well built trophy trucks break. There was a lot of testing done before releasing this. Kawasaki even dumbed down the power. Unfortunately there are a few of the owners who only know one way to treat a machine.

If this was a breakage issue that did not risk injury then I believe the outcome would have been on the customers dime in some of the cases. It would not ended up a stop sale/ride issue.

Time and time again I see how some of these nuts behind the wheel drive and do to these machines. It's one of the reasons I quit going to Glamis and Dumont. I applaud Kawasaki for stepping up to the plate and making this right.

I thought the original clutch performance was pretty decent and it clearly worked for dunes, woods, crawling, etc. I think is was poorly constructed with bad materials and casting so here we are.

My stuff gets used as intended, but is well maintained. I've ripped my H2 in dunes and desert when conditions allowed simce I bought it in September 25. I started inspecting my clutch every 100 miles after they started coming apart regularly in October. It failed the 5th inspection and the casting was flaking off and a couple of super fine fractures appeared. I brought it to the dealer for documentation about the same time the stop sale was announced.

That was the end of the saga for me, so I bought a Tapp primary and have now put on about 200 miles on it. Glad I did, so I could use it the past month+. Really haven't had any other issues in over 750 miles now.

If they come out with a reliable facsimile of the original clutch, that will satisfy some and piss off many others that think they are "owed" a different remedy. But that's how these things go and it's been s horrible 5 years for manufacturers of all brands.
