| Description of the problem | Since day one of owning my brand new 2015 yamaha fz09 (build date 01/2015) i have noticed a small crack on the frame of the bike. I originally thought this was just a surface defect. After talking with other owners with bikes that were built near the same time as mine, we have realized they all have the same crack. One member has complained to yamaha, and had their frame replaced making us think that this could be a larger issue. This is a crack in the frame which could propagate and cause a wreck. The crack goes through the frame member and can be sen on the other side. Currently it has caused no harm, but motorcycles get totaled out by insurance companies each day for having tiny cracks in the frame. |
