MY SUBFRAME HAS NOT YET FAILED, BUT ON THE SUZUKI HAYABUSA .ORG WEBSITE WE (3000 MEMBERS) HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FAILURES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, CAUSING THE SEAT AND RIDER TO CONTACT THE REAR WHEEL AND CRASH. SUZUKI MADE THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY IN 99 AND 2000 AND CHANGED TO STEEL FOR THE 2001 AND 2002 MODELS. THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE WELDS AND POROSITY OF THE ALUMINUM ARE FAULTY. ENGINEERING STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED IN GREAT BRITTAN AND CONFIRM THIS. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT OU…

IT IS WIDLY KNOWN THAT SUZUKI HAS BEEN IGNORING THE FACT THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME WELDS ARE WEAK ON IT 99 AND 2000 HAYABUSA'S. IT NEEDS TO BE REALLED AND HAVE THE NEW SUBFRAME INSTALLED THAT THEY USED ON THE 2001 AND NEWER BIKES. SUZUKI HAS AGREED TO DO MINE UNDER A SILENT RECALL, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL DIE FROM THIS ACCIDENT IF IT BREAKS ON THEM.

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 …

SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE SUZUKI HAYABUSA, THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL TRICKLE OF REPORTED SUBFRAME FAILURES. MOST OF THE TIME, THE OWNER CAN SAFELY STOP THE MACHINE. 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 YOUR…

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2002: 7 complaints · 2023: 2 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2002 | 3 | 5 | 7 |

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
