thx bro stsoh for the heads up.. anyway, from all the pics, looks like there's at least 2 bikes that suffered the crack. normal riding shouldn't lead to that kind of stress fracture right? did the website u got the pics from mention any symptoms the riders noticed before failure, or even their riding style/habits?

 

anyway, touch wood, but say there's a major problem with the bike somewhere, leading to a recall. the 600s shouldn't have a problem because they're distributed by GH, but for the 400s, since they're PI, will looi's & all that do the same service?

 

these r 9 different cases tat can be found on the web, they believed there r many more of such incidents.

they r pending on suzuki investigations.

these happens during normal ride at low speed (40~60kph) on their countries road side curves, not running at high speed or wheelies.

for safety reason, it is better tat u do self-inspection for hairline crack.

it could be due to their climate temperature from extreme cold(-10 deg C) to hot(+35 deg C).

unlike sillypore topical climate with constant temp (26~33 deg C).

I agree about the temperature.

Was thinking about it last night.

 

Most of the reported cases are in Europe and currently its winter there.

I think we should be more ok.

Haben heard of a cracked frame due to normal riding.

Collisions yes, but that's when the bike is submitted to heavy force.

Sounds like what I suspected.

Is your hubby's bike a 400 or 600?

for what that i noe he usually dun lock the handlebars....

i'll check with him tonite...

 

i did ask him whether he spin the key all the way in which will turn on the parking lights and which will turn on the pole lights and brake lights, he said that he did not...

 

mah mechanic also counldnt find anything wrong with the bike except for the flat batt & re-charge it.....

 

so im wondering whether gsr600 is a good bike....

 

but then again...im not the one riding it....

[specialc]

but there must be an issue somewhere, i mean, u dun really hear of other bikes there suffering from the temperature changes so seriously, and it happened during normal riding too.. something to do with the alloy construction? very interested to know the results of the investigation by suzuki, pls update if anyone comes across it, thx!!

If it's a 600.

 

Battery - if it's spoilt, the bike shop should claim from GH.

Tow - the bike shop should be the one takin the bill.

 

End of story !

dun think so as the 400 is less then 6mths old...

even sia117 who is riding the 600 also prefer the 400... hee...

[swoosh]

not yet, very busy this week..I'll try do it before the trip.

[swoosh]

kaozie, any news on the brake pad? seen the Goldfren 's catalogue, seems like 400 & 600 are using the same brakepad,. Any idea which local store is carrying the brand ?
