One member has just reported a sub-frame breakage! Paul Wilde (member 69) has just taken photos, and will get copies to me for posting here as soon as possible. He only found the break yesterday, and is yet to contact Suzuki or his dealer. He does not have a luggage system, and only occasionally takes a pillion (a light young lady ) We wait with baited breath for the outcome.
Also, he has told me that he knows of a Melbourne rider (who was not a club member) who wrote his Hayabusa off, and that rider is alleging the accident was caused by a subframe failure. The details are sketchy, but I gather the subframe broke, and Suzuki apparently had it re-welded, and then the accident happened after the repair and a 2nd failure. But the details are sketchy...
Hopefully we will get some firmer details soon.
