“Bought a brand new 2015 Yamaha FZ-09 in year 2016. My bike and many others have a defect in the frame, and I chose to dig deeper to see if it was a crack or casting mark.

To make sure the dealership took it to an auto body facility to sand blast the area, and that confirmed that it was indeed a crack. …”

“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. …”
