Man Claims Motorcycle Broke In Half
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/9314629/detail.html
Nick Jerard claims his motorcycle broke in half while he was riding it – sending him to intensive care. He also says that several other riders report similar ordeals – but the manufacturer won’t do anything about it. Channel 2 found a number of complaints on the internet about frames on that 2005 model Suzuki breaking in half under seemingly normal conditions. Suzuki officials did not return our calls. |

suzuki wont have to pay the medical bill
if someone drives a 2006 corolla into a tree because the LCA snapped into 2 peices, does the dealer pay? hell no- that's what insurance is for :7 |

Re: Man Claims Motorcycle Broke In Half
25mph and it breaks is more likely if he was doing a wheelie and slammed the front end down.

Re: Man Claims Motorcycle Broke In Half
When i was on co-op working for a company that made link arms for honda, something simillar happend. Our competitors link armd failed on an accord and it crashed. Honda caned that company after 9 years of supplying them, and we got 100% of the business, because of one market claim, so yes the manufacturer would be paying for what happend, unless they can prove that the bikes were being "missused" which in all likelyhood were, because how many ppl own a street bike and dont beat on it, however they should still not break like that.

Re: Man Claims Motorcycle Broke In Half
Suzuki has a hit-or-miss record with their frames lately. I had a 99 TL1000S the the steering head cracked almost from top to bottom. No wheelies. Only had it 3mths and had 1000miles. After some bitchin and a threat from an attorney, they gave me a new one. I traded it on a 2001 Busa and had it for a year with no problems. I'd never buy another Suzuki again tho. Kaw if anything.
