Default Make Kawasaki issue a recall.

for all 05-06 636 right brake stay bracket. Everytime a 636 gets tipped over or dropped on the right side the fucking bracket brakes. I'm going to write them a letter and send them a package full of broken brackets. It's a defective part, and they're claiming its not their fault. I've owned 2 636's, one 05 and one 06, out of the both of them i've replaced 5 brackets...its so rediculous, whenever the bike gets tipped over or the brake pedal gets any lateral side-to-side force the bracket brakes. I've talked to several riders who will give me thier old broken ones.

Anybody else here experienced this?

Sorry, i'm just mad because i've had enough and now i have to pay $400 for an aftermarket rearset

so you want them to recall a part that breaks when you drop the bike???

they might as well recall any plastics that were scratched when the bike was dropped too...
