CONTINUED USE OF THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE BRAKE HOSE TRAPPED IN THIS POSITION COULD CAUSE A BRAKE FLUID LEAK CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL ADD A BRACKET TO SUPPORT THE BRAKE HOSES, AND PREVENT THEM FROM INADVERTENTLY BEING PUSHED FORWARD INTO THE FENDER/FORK INTERFACE AREA.  THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2004.  OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT KAWASAKI AT 1\-866\-802\-9381.
