ALUMINUM SUBFRAMES ON THESE MOTORCYCLES HAVE FAILED, IN GREAT BRITAIN THEY ARE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER WITH STEEL SUBFRAMES, BUT NOT HERE. *TS ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***761422

I AM FILING THIS REPORT AS A MATTER OF CAUTION AND NOT DUE TO A FAILURE THAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. I OWN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL MOTORCYCLE AND HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF SEVERAL SUBFRAME FAILURES. THESE FAILURES ARE DUE TO A DEFECT RESULTING IN AN ACTUAL BREAKAGE OF THE REAR SUBFRAME. THE BREAKAGE IN THE SUBFRAME PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZZARD TO THE DRIVER AND ANY POTENTIAL PASSENGER. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS MADE A CHANGE IN LATER MODEL YEAR MOTORCYCLES, KNOWING THIS SITUATION EXISTED, BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE QUESTIONABLE SUBFRAMES THAT ARE IN USE ON THOUSANDS OF MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURED AS 1999 AND 2000 YEAR MODELS. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE FACT OF MY SUBFRAME NOT YET FAILING

THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AMONG EARLY YEAR SUZUKI HAYABUSAS. MY SUBFRAME HAS NOT FAILED, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND ALSO PASSENGERS THAT RIDE ON MY MOTORCYCLE. I WOULD LIKE A RECALL DONE ON THIS PART AND HAVE A REPLACEMENT MADE OF STEEL PUT ON THE MOTORCYCLE AT NO COST. IN EUROPE, SUZUKI WAS REQUIRED TO RECALL THIS PART, BUT DEALERS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE "UNAWARE" OF ANY PROBLEM, AND SUZUKI WILL NOT EXTEND THE RECALL HERE. FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A CRASH. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

WENT RIDING ON A SATURDAY AND NOTICED MOTORCYCLE WAS HANDLING VERY WEIRD AND IT ACTUALLY SEEMED TO BE "LONGER" THAN NORMAL. WHEN I GOT HOME I NOTICED THE BACK HALF OF MY MOTORCYCLE WAS SEVERAL INCHES LOWER THAN NORMAL AND THE REAR TIRE WAS LESS THAN AN INCH FROM THE REAR FENDER. AFTER AN INSPECTION OF MOTORCYCLE, THE SUBFRAME BROKE ON BOTH SIDES, CAUSING THE BACK HALF OF THE BIKE TO FALL OVER 4-6 INCHES. THE FAILURE PUT A HOLE IN MY EXHAUST AND BURNED A GOOD PORTION OF THE STOCK BODY WORK. AFTER A LITTE RESEARCH, SUZUKI HAD A RECALL ON THIS PART IN EUROPE...NOT THE US...AND WITH THE 2001 MODELS, THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH STEEL. NONE OF THE DEALERS IN THE HOUSTON AREA WILL HELP ME WITH T

THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME WAS RECALLED BY SUZUKI OF EUROPE FOR BEING DEFECTIVE. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN SEVERAL DOCUMENTED FAILURES HERE IN THE US. ALSO, AN INDEPENDENT TESTING COMPANY IN EUROPE TESTED THE SUBFRAMES AND FOUND THEM TO BE DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN. SUZUKI OF AMERICA IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN RIDING MY BIKE. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WHEN MY WIFE RIDES WITH ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ASAP.
