Kawasaki Ex650: Foot Rest May Detach

Kawasaki is recalling 876 motorcycles (EX650, EX250, KLE650, and ER650 models) distributed in the United Kingdom because the circlips that hold the passenger footrest pivot may be defective and could fail, allowing the footrest to detach while riding. The manufacturer will replace the circlips on both passenger footrests.
