Service bulletin MC23-03

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Kawasaki motorcycles come with four types of batteries. While some require activation and others are pre-activated, they all require charging and additional maintenance charging if activated and allowed to sit in the vehicle for an extended time on the showroom floor or in storage. The following is a summary of activation and charging guidelines for each battery type.

The document

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.
