Hey guys - I have just picked up my new fz1 and ridden it home 100 miles for the first time (awesome bike and will post pics as soon as the sun is out)...its not all good though - I've found what I think might be a cracked weld on both sides where the pillion peg hangers join to the rear subframe. Its worse on the exhaust side as the 'crack' seems to run the length of the weld. I don't know if I'm looking at a crack to be honest so I will post some pics once it gets light tomorrow but I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced a similar issue? I have read a thread on here about frame cracks which is why I actually ran downstairs to look.. but the welds on the main frame seem fine.
I'm going to drop in to my local Yam dealer and ask for their opinion as well but I want to get a few thoughts before I trek it back the 100miles to the dealer I bought it from.
The bike is an early 2007 and has 13k miles on it and I've only had it for 8 hours! :doh2: I had hoped to own it for longer before worrying about problems!
Cheers
*edit.. I just realised I posted this in general but I guess it would be better suited to fz1 technical. Is there anyway to move it?
