Welcome!
Definitely a first I have ever seen/heard (and I have seen/heard a lot). Back to the dealer to let them inspect, ASAP. That is far more than a crack, a whole section is completely missing! Is it like that on the other side too?? I would NOT ride it in that condition, myself (if I could avoid it). It looks severely compromised and unsafe. The entire load of the rear suspension goes through that section of frame.
You bought it as "new" or "used"? From a Kawasaki dealer? Please always post the year of the bike. Best to add it to your signature or avatar. And please let us know what happens with this saga. Best of luck.
