| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was riding the motorcycle which i only had for 10 days and gave it some gas and the front end came up than down, nothing major than a few seconds later the front end just dove into the ground. it was going approximately 25 - 30 mph on a private road as the speed limit was is. the motorcycle had frame sliders to protect it in event of a crash, but after the crash i got up to pick up the motorcycle and the 2 welds on the neck of the frame split down the middle completely. i contacted suzuki , and they sent a representative, who had raced and said he'd never seen anything like that before happening so he sent a report to suzuki headquarters, and they contacted me and were not nice . then, i had a certified weld inspector do an visual evaluation and his report stated that visual inspection of welds revealed lack of fusion which may have caused weld failure. and he said that i should be able to drop the motorcycle from 4 stories and the welds should not break, the motorcycle maybe, but the welds should never break and certainly not split. all that broke on the other than that was one turn signal, which was plastic. it was the only other damage, the motorcycle still starts and runs, but 2 split welds on both sides, left and right, but the motorcycle only fell on the right side.*ak |
