ZX10 issue?

I just popped over to motoslush for the first time in a while, and there was this post.
A little reminiscent of the 200 929, don't you think?
I wonder if Kawi will end up doing a retrofit as Honda did.

Ah, an automatic redirect. If you copy the shortcut and paste it in your browser it will pull up the thread.
Anyway, some guy just had his clutch lifter arm snap on his ZX10 after ~1000 miles. Claims not to be abusing the bike. May be a one off, may be the start of something. Who knows.

Hmmm.

An R1 blows up down the road from the dealer, now this?

Might the manufacturers been a bit hasty in getting their new product to the market?

But I did like the guy that told him to get the 1kRR!

Re: ZX10 issue?

Don't forget about the '00 929's penchant for bursting into flames at unopportune moments. (Then again, when WOULD it be opportune?)

These are mechanical things guys, machines. They're going to fail from time to time, even brand new ones.

I think we can glean nothing from either example at this point in time.
