Kwaka ZX-10_2004 models recall

Just saw an urgent recall-notice at the Austrian-AutoClub site for an
international recall re: alloy-rims/ front-wheel on all Kwaka ZX-10/ 2004
models.
If you got one, call your dealer.

2. thought: might be that non-NSW-legal exhaust that causes the cast to
fail? )

Mmm bit of a nasty one too. "Do not ride bike until new wheel has been
fitted."

Last I heard there was a long backlog, too.
