Ouch!:crash

 

Oh shit. Good ole' Kawi quality.

 

jeeze, he must have come down haard! The only other thing I've heard of is the forks seeming like they are coming out when the front wheel leaves the pavement. That thing is tiny though, it feels like the little 250 Intruder I took the MSF course on.

 

Oh damn!

 

Hmmm.... not good. Interesting to see how warranty handles that one.

umm yea I was just riding along and my frame cracked for some reason. I never do wheelies....:bs

 

Damn

 

If you came down that hard you figure you would pop your front tire before cracking your frame:scared

 

yeah, ic an't imagine any frame cracking like that by design by too much force from a wheelie. I would think other components would break first... i.e. the ram air tube.

 

I've seen this exact same thing happen on a ZX6.

No wonder people with half a brain don't buy those bikes.

 

anyone have a link to the thread with the comments?

 

Although I coudn't imagine and front wheel exploding just from gong fast but hey, wierd stuff happens

 

You would have to beleive somthing else would have broke too. It does look like a stress crack though.:fact

 

this is where I got it from

I wonder how many frames have failed like this. That would suck if it were a casting problem in the frame.

Your sig tells me that my IP address: 129.33.49.251. That may be a public address, but it's not my address on the LAN. If you had to, could you find my machine behind IBM's firewalls?

 

I have seen other pics of zx-10's frames cracking...The one I saw the frame completely cracked in half on the left side and the guy ended up wrecking...They are just trying to make the frames so light that the metal isn't strong enough

I just noticed that in Wheatman's sig. That is pretty cool, I am usually too busy staring at the hotties in the his avatar and sig to notice. :lol

 

Yup same ol shit from the same ol pics of 2-3 months ago yes KHI replaced two/2 count'em frames due to such damage and yes landing wheelies from 12 will have this kind of effect on equip......and no its not just kawi's that can suffer such abuse either its any bike and any brand.

I sure am glad I got the R1 and not a ZX-10:scared. You'd think for this kind of money, quality would be more important and not just quick sales.

yeah it kinda reminds me of the 04 R1's that have scattered the bottom ends with very low miles on them!! surely you've read about those on this very site yes????? :yesnod

Talkin bout the blown engines, or the sticky clutch plates. Wait...that wasn't the R Wheezy was it? I must have it confused with a different bike

AFMEDIC

 

Why is that these threads keep having the same people trying to talk down about the next bike.

R1's have had some engine problems and clutch, ZX10's have had there front rim and seems to be abit of frame problem....

They all have there problems, get over it.

For once I will agree with you. Every brand bike has its problems.:fact :beer :beer
