“I own an early 2007 FZ1 motorcycle. The machine is in mint condition with only 15,000 miles. On february 25th 2016 I noticed a large crack in the frame weld on the right side. It starts at the bottom and climbs the weld over 2 inches, cleanly through to the other side. For the past month I have been stressing day-in and day-out trying to solve this nightmare. I've brought the machine to my local authorized dealer and submitted a repair order only to get a quote of $3500 to replace the frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10850033, filed 2016-03, 15,000 miles“On the right side of the motorcycle, there is a weld that connects the upper part of the frame to the lower part of the frame. The weld is located just above the clutch cover. The weld has developed a center line crack. Upon further investigation on a FZ1 forum, this is an issue other with the 2006 and 2007 FZ1 owners have had.”
