Structure · reported Apr 30, 2002
It has been a growing concern of haybusa owners that the rear subframe of 1999/2000 model years is made of aluminum and has a history of failure. Suzuki has recalled those in the uk but refuse to do so in the us they are now made of steel starting with year 2001. But those of us with the aluminum subframes are stuck with no recourse since suzuki refuses to admit there is a problem with the design so hayabusa owners are turning to you to see if you can get them to replace them before ours fail too. Thanks for your time sincerely [xxx]. Parts of this document have been redacted to protect…

Heard of related failures and inspected mine. Found cracks in the weld and contacted suzuki, they were willing to replace it (Out of warrenty) but not with the steal one that they replaced on the 2003 motorcycle and up. Im concerned that this might happen aging.

There have been at least three reported incidents of injury due to the failure. Have such a major component of a motorcycle fail as the subframe assembly. There is evidence from a european report that tested sub-frames (Independent tests, not from suzuki ) show that there are definite quality/strength issues with the frame. I would appreciate some sort of report from suzuki or yourselves showing that my machine is safe to be operated…

I purchased this vehicle new in good faith. There have been numerous reports of subframe failures all over the globe and american suzuki has done nothing to resolve this issue. I AM afraid to ride my motorcycle for fear that the subframe may fail and cause me to lose control or cause my passenger to fall off of motorcycle at cruising speed. A recall was done on this model of motorcycle in the uk however, no such recall has been done in the us where the majority of the bikes have been sold. Suzuki knows that there is a problem because they upgraded the subframe to steel after the 2000 model.…
