Go look at the recall at Suz with the old 1000's frames say a few years back. They break at the center. Suz has the oval circle in the middle area, so the air cleaner sits high and such? Say the crack is: You know where your air cleaner is on the 14? Well, go about 4-6" back from there is about center to where the Suz circle is for that frame design?

They are coming down on those after a wheelie and they snap literally in half. Go to a magazine rack, pick up road racing world's rag and see their recall page or section. Bike is sitting on the bottom engine case; no front end to speak of. Looks like a horse shoe or tuning fork frame, if you can imagine is how about that for controversy?

Mine didn't leak, and it passed the frame check no problem. But when I took it in to get the valves adjusted the gasket ripped. Took forever and a day to get the new set in from Japan!!! Hope your luck is better than mine on that point!
