Show us yer crack

[MrMelon]

Here's mine!

Bit of a shock to fail my warrant on that, but pretty glad it didn't go while I was riding. I found another one on the opposite side too after I dropped it into the shop!

[merv]

Mate what's up, that's not a Suzuki frame?

[The Pastor]

where abouts is the crack?

[Oldfulla]

as above, which part of the bike is that?

[Sparky Bills]

Is that on the zx6?
Ive head about others doing that.
See if Kawasaki can help out with it.
Its worth a try!

[Clivoris]

WTF? That aint confidence inspiring.

[Coyote]

Got me extra worried about my creaky frame... have to upgrade soon

[MrMelon]

Yeah that's on the zx6, its a couple of inches behind the air duct on the right hand side. Almost a foot back from the headstock. I had a chat to one of the guys from Kawasaki NZ today and they're going to try and sort me out a replacement frame which is really good of them. Sounds like I'll be up for the labour costs for getting it swapped out of $1300 or so. Not sure if I'd be able to just get the frame and do it myself. Guess it'll pay to get it done properly.

Oh it's on a 1996 zx6r. An F1 model.

[Coyote]

How many kays is the bike up to anyway?

[Sparky Bills]

Sounds about right.
Good on them for sorting something out for you.

I reckon a digital camera, a workshop manual, and three or four willing blokes and there'd be no labour cost. Buy lots of cable ties though

And don't forget the Duct tape, a fridge load of piss, and the McGyver sound track playing in the background!

[James Deuce]

Yikes, similar place to where the Suzukis were shown to be breaking. Now Viv and you weren't big wheelie queens/kings either. Where were my comments on aluminium not having a fatigue limit and how eventually it will crack with repeated stress loadings?
