Suzuki (USA) has initiated a voluntary safety recall on 2005 & 2006 GSX - R1000 motorcycles after receiving reports of cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame in certain extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame, such as collisions involving the front wheel/fork assembly.
Owners of K5 & K6 GSX-R1000s, should contact their local UK Suzuki dealer and schedule an appointment to have their frame inspected.
If the frame is not cracked, an aluminum reinforcement brace weighing less than two pounds will be fitted with bolts and epoxy adhesive below the frame spar and below and behind the steering head. The service takes three hours to do.
If you know any owners of these machine's please advise them of this....
