Kawasaki has ordered dealers to suspend sales of the much hyped 2011 ZX-10r due to what they are calling an "engine defect" due to a design flaw. They have not released any other details. It is unclear whether the units sold so far will be recalled for a fix or completely bought back from owners. Any units already on dealer floors will be picked up by Kawasaki. If the local Kawi dealers have not received this info yet, which is quite possible as this news is hot off the presses, they will soon.

More to come for sure! This could be a crushing blow for Team Green.
