Now that's high quality craftsmanship there!!

 

onewheel, that's not the only one . . . a friend of mine who races in WERA was telling me about it yesterday. I see a CAL against Suzuki soon. This may be the beginning of the downfall of 'zuki. First they decide to stop making the 'busa, and now this. Say bye-bye.

 

[sm=yikesomg.gif] I fully agree with Remo.

 

If there are more out there this will be a major recall for zuki..

I know last year kawi had the recall on front wheel on the zx10. some wheels had a bad casting and had air pockets in them causing them to shatter. but that easy changing one wheel

imagine having to do thousands upon thousands of frames [:'(]

I was at the ford dealer for the explorer Firestone tire recall.. and for 3-4 months solid.. all I did was tires all day.. [:@]

 

Let's just hope that this is the ONLY year that this defect will effect. They can get a hold of ownersfast enough, but if it spans across a couple of years, then there will be a major problem!! I'm suprise that this happened, with todays technology and computer machinery, this kind of stuff should never exist. And hopefully no one on the street finds out the wrong way about this defect too!!

 

Kinda scary when you think about how we put our trust into so many things these days. Everyday you trust that a manufacturer made their product right, safe, etc. then you see something like this.........makes you think twice I guess.

 

Yeah....big ? is, why they didn't find thise out on the pre-production testing!

 

Looks like pre-production testing isn't at the standard that it needs to be at?? Or maybe it was just a fluke? Lets hope so.
