I know this problem has been sorted.
I've seen this on a few bikes the past year and all kawasaki. I would agree with Fazer rider thats it was a faulty cdi, I've had the same problems with bikes coming in with a blown coil, it was from the rectifier failing causing the battery to overcharge which created a knock on affect from there blowing the cdi, coil and sometimes the rev counter.
If I had a kawasaki I'd run a volt meter on the bars to check battery voltage as I don't trust their rectifiers.
