Frame Result

Posted a week or so ago about my cracked frame. Have had the call from Suzuki dealer to confirm a NEW FRAME is on its way having been authorised by Suzuki warranty department. Because my bike is mainly in bits and I want everthing powdercoating I have to take the old frame in and do the exchange. They have said that a shim kit will be included for the rotary anchor and they will have to check when completed - but thats not going to be refitted anyway!
I may even push my luck seeing how Suzuki won't have any workshop costs and see if I can get any new bearings

I wouldn't worry to much unless you do LOTS of wheelies

Re: Frame Result

I try to save as much as I can on my front tire in fact!

Re: Frame Result

Do Sam's trick and stick a supercharger on it then

I don't think I've seen his front wheel on the floor yet

Re: Frame Result


That would be fun! Ain't seen his thread yet ... gonna look for it! Somewhere I did see a pic of a TLS with a nitrous kit fitted though .... to be honest I prefer nitrous to a supercharger coz it's only there when you need it, thus reducing useless stress on the engine! Even though, knowing me, I'd run out of N2O on a kg tank in a few minutes!

Oh you have lots of reading to do then

200hp at the rear wheel, and 100+ft/lbs of torque
