Tennessee Motorcycle Recall: GSX- R1000 Frame Cracks

In early January, American Suzuki recalled its high end motorcycle. Memphis trial lawyers have come to know that the front fork assembly can crack and break. This can send a Mid-South user headlong into serious injuries and medical expenses. The recall focuses on defects brought about by high impact uses, i.e. Wheelies, coming down hard on the front wheel after being off the ground, etc.

An article in a motorcycle enthusiast magazine recently commented:

Although Suzuki GSX-R1000s tend to be bullet-proof mechanically and can stand tens of thousands of miles of hard use, the finish isn’t quite as good as the competition. The paintwork on the panels and engine casings is thin and the GSX-R1000K7’s new twin pipes look particularly cheap – although Suzuki is probably assuming people will get rid of them anyway in favour of replacement cans.

Whether or not the bike is truly "bullet-proof mechanically" is reality or salesmanship really doesn't matter in the face of this recall.The details of the recall can be found at the Consumer Affairs website.
