Bike Recalls made by Suzuki and Yamaha
31Jan2009 Filed under: Advice, Bikes, Scooter news Author: Brian
There are two bikes (the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Yamaha FJR1300) being voluntarily recalled for safety checks. Apparently there is an issue concerning the cracking or breakage of the frame behind and below the steering neck.
Because the frame damage is believed to be caused by driving activities considered “reckless” and, if performed on public roads, illegal, the risk of damage to the frame is not considered to be a defect. Suzuki is not required to issue a recall notice under the safety act but the manufacturer has decided to respond to the issue as if it were a full safety recall.
Dealers will replace the ignition switch on affected motorcycles at no charge. An estimated 9,300 motorcycles are included in the recall.
