Suzuki has received reports of cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame in
extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame, such as collisions
involving the front wheel/fork assembly.
Suzuki has also received reports of cracking or breakage of the frame behind and below
steering neck when the motorcycle is subjected to repeated hard landings from hazardous
maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts. Suzuki believes
type of driving activity is reckless - and illegal when performed on a public roadway -
not condone it. If the frame becomes broken during this type of extreme use, a crash
occur.
While ordinary operation of the motorcycle does not create a risk of cracking or breakage
the frame, Suzuki has decided voluntarily to conduct this Safety Recall to minimize
potential for frame cracking or breakage in the circumstances described above."
Sada ovaj opoziv je bio i UK i to znam 100%
Epoxy brace je bio dodavan
Manufacturer: American Suzuki Motor Corporation
Model Year: 2005-2006
Models affected: GSX-R1000
NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V022000
Potential Units Affected: 26082
Problem: American Suzuki is conducting a safety improvement campaign involving 26,082 model year 2005-2006 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. Cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame can occur in certain extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame. Repeated hard landings from hazardous maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts may generate sufficient stress to cause this problem. If the frame becomes broken during extreme use, a crash could occur.
Corrective Action: Dealers will inspect the frame for cracks. If no cracks are found, a frame reinforcement brace will be attached to the frame using bolts and epoxy adhesive. Should cracks be found during the inspection, the frame will be replaced with a new frame that has the reinforcement brace installed. The campaign began on January 21, 2009. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.
NOTE: Suzuki Campaign no. 2A08. This action is deemed a safety improvement campaign and is not being conducted under the safety act. However, Suzuki has informed NHTSA that it will provide the modifications described above free of charge.
Osobno mislim da osim ako motor nije bio dobro zavaljan u fosu da ga nitko ne moze na cesti dovesti blizu kriticne zone pucanja rame
