“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. Yamaha had the dealership take the tank off and and look on the inside, and sure enough, it was cracked in the same area same place only on the opposite side of the main frame as well. 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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10863611, filed 2016-05, 20 miles“The rear suspension shock absorber is rusted at all of the rear welded points. The vehicle has been garaged and is in a low humidity desert of arizona. The rust from the welds has traveled up along where two parts of the shock assembly is connected. There is no way to disassemble the shock to clean off the rust and refinish it. To my knowledge, only the 2015 model year is affected, since Yamaha changed the design of the rear shock assembly from 2016.”
