Wud up,just thought it would be a good idea to spread the word- for safety sake. 2005/2006 Gixxer 1k frame recall. Several places to get info, here's one linky (hope it works). http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=35357
Hope everyone is doin well, I havent been on here in awhile

 

why only the 1k?? every pic on here that was posted on here were 600's if i'm not mistaken

 

Here's a linky to zuki's own page,it takes you to a pdf (first one at top)

A little late, but better than never I guess. Should help your situation a little I would think Bill. Later

 

The shops get a dye from Suzuki that they have to spray on the weld points of the front half of the frame - if it turns red then that indicates week spots or cracks (hidden or seen) and the frame gets replaced. If it doesnt turn red they are bolting on a 2oz support under the frame (towards the front). They have to relocate the horn and add spacers for the side fairings to bolt back up...

 

its not just breaking on the welds, its in the castings too, hopfully they realize that

 

I hope so for my sake

 

I hope so too ....I wouldnt feel safe riding it even after the work from the recall

 

So no help for my cracked K6 600 then?? Well.. that's bullshit!!!

The ****** majority of the probelmatic bikes are the 600-750's
IF it's the same bike, same years, only smaller displacement.. Then what makes them think that the frames are any better on the 600s??
I'm pretty torqued over that ****!

 

I'd get rid of your 600 and get something different

 

thats really cool. well not that the frames are ****. but that they are doing somthing about it. better late than never. There are even reimbursing people that have replaced frames. It takes a big man to do that for unwarranted behavior or use that is not designed into the motorcycle. Suzuki aint as bad as i thought. Kudos

 

So racing it on the track is unwarranted behavior or use that is not designed into the motorcycle? that would be news to me because last i new they were designed to be raced and look at the link at top of page and there is a pic of a gsxr 1000 frame brake that happened at a track day

 

Yes race bikes/track bikes are included in the recall,however they are not replacing or reimbursing for anyone who's frame broke in a crash. I can understand them not wanting to set precedent that they will make bikes to withstand crashes...But if the failure causes the crash...well shouldn't that be a little different?

LINKY http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/...?article=35460

There is a link (pdf) to the actual recall letter going out to customers at the bottom of the page. FYI

 

waiting for dozens to be serously hurt, some have been killed and many more who had to pay for frames out-of-pocket for what was a design/mfg problem? Suzuki waited well past the time they knew about the problem and had a slew of lawsuits to do anything. yea, there a great company...(sarcasm)

They arnt as bad as you thought- they are worse...

 

Pffft. Thanks for the advice...

I'll file it under things I think you should pack in your ***.

 

sound just like my friend the morning of the day his frame broke and he got fukked up, I hope it doesn't happen to you. really.

 

see you cant do that because im not gay like you are so I dont know what to tell ya, oh and another thing I was just saying I would get rid of it because i wouldnt feel safe riding it man you need to chill out ...you are being immature for real grow up and I do agree with ya it is BS they are not doing anything for 600/750s hence the reason I would get rid of it but your too busy with your head up your A** to realize that, have a nice day and put your bike on E-bay and quit bitchin
