Kawasaki Ninja 650R frame cracking issues

For the growing crowd here that owns a little Ninja…

ER-6 frames cracking?

I remember way back before he bought his ER6f our favourite ‘shiftless clutcher’, M13, was asking me about this issue… At the time I told him to forget about it, most likely early production run foibles that would have been sorted out by Kwak, so I’m surprised to hear it’s still “an issue”… seems like a bit of a non issue though really, if the mount tab is being bent back towards to engine when torqueing down the bolts, surely the fix is a mere engine side spacer/washer away?.. :idunno:
