An Unscientific Survey to Record Bent Sub-Frames

[Yamadooed]

Re: subframe

Yes factory defect. Is Yamaha going to be like Toyota they never seem to admit to anything until people get killed.

Ummmmm, I seriously doubt anyone is going to be killed as the result of a bent subframe, considering all of the ones I've seen are still drivable afterwards (and mines got 4000 Km on it while being bent due to my own actions). Sticking throttles on the other hand...........

Cutting 2.5 mm off the top ball joints makes a huge difference in the overall handling of a 08... I know mine is somewhere around 12mm out of whack on one side...Drivable still Yes..... Safe No!!!
