SUZUKI WILL NOT PERFORM THE RECALL ON MY BRAKE FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE BIKE HAS NO FRONT BRAKES AND THEY WILL NOT SEND ME THE NEW PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR. THEY ARE TELLING I MUST PAY TO GET IT TOWED TO A DEALER 2 HRS FROM MY HOUSE TO GET IT REPAIRED. IF THEY WON'T PAY FOR THE TOW THEN THEY NEED TO SEND ME THE PART SO I CAN COMPLETE THE REPAIR MYSELF.

2007 SUZUKI GSX-R1000, CRACKED (COMPLETELY THROUGH) SUB-FRAME AT THE POINT WHICH SUPPORTS THE PASSENGER. 1ST TIME I NOTICED WHEN MY WIFE COMPLAINED SHE FELT LIKE THE SEAT WAS LOOSE. THE DEALER IN MANNHEIM GERMANY REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY IN MARCH 2008. 3 WEEKS AFTERWARD, THE REPLACEMENT PART CRACKED IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION, IDENTICAL IN SIZE AND SHAPE TO THE CRACK IN THE ORIGINAL SUB-FRAME. DEALER IN GERMANY WOULD NOT MAKE A SECOND CLAIM AND EXPLAINED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSED THE CRACK BY PRODUCING A FREQUENCY THAT CRACKS THE ALUMINUM. I CALLED SUZUKI MANUFACTURER IN THE US AND THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT REPLACING THE PART UNLESS I COULD SEND THE BIKE BACK TO THE US FOR SERVICING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD, WHICH HAD JUST ENDED. CONSEQUENCES: MOTORCYCLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WHILE THE SUB-FRAME IS CRACKED. I CAN NOT HOLD ANY PASSENGER ON THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO UNSAFE FRAME CRACK. I MAINTAIN THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT PARTS. PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *TR
