+}}'''Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.''' (カワサキモータース株式会社, ''Kawasaki Mōtāsu Kabushikigaisha'') is a Japanese mobility manufacturer that produces motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, utility vehicles, watercraft, outboard motors, and other electric products. It derives its origins from Kawasaki Aerospace Systems, a subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and is rooted in the motorcycle, boat, and engine businesses. In 1953, they began manufacturing engines for motorcycles and have since produced products such as the Mach and Ninja series in motorcycles and the Jet Ski, which has become a generic term for personal watercraft. Until 2021, it was a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, known as the '''Kawasaki Aerospace Company''' (川策重工業汎用機カンパニー) and later the '''Kawasaki Motorcycle & Engine Company''' (川崎重工業モーターサイクル&エンジンカンパニー). In 2021, it was separated as Kawasaki Motors, Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

+The Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid introduces a software-controlled automated clutch system that appears to require proprietary electronic calibration after certain maintenance procedures, including oil changes and drivetrain service. Unlike traditional motorcycles with fully mechanical clutch systems, the Ninja 7 Hybrid relies on ECU-managed clutch actuation and adaptive learning routines tied to Kawasaki dealer diagnostic systems.

+Owners and independent mechanics have raised concerns regarding Kawasaki’s requirement for proprietary electronic clutch calibration procedures on the Ninja 7 Hybrid motorcycle. Unlike traditional motorcycles with fully mechanical clutch systems, the Ninja 7 Hybrid uses ECU-controlled clutch actuation that may require dealer-only diagnostic tools to recalibrate after maintenance or service procedures. Consumers report that failure to perform recalibration can result in rough shifting, drive train warnings, or degraded operation. Critics argue the requirement increases ownership costs, restricts independent repair access, and contributes to manufacturer-controlled servicing ecosystems, raising broader right-to-repair concerns surrounding software-dependent vehicles.
