Consumer Description

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.
