MY DOM IS 10/06. THE FRAME IS CRACKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE 2 SECTIONS MEET. ABOVE THE CENTERLINE OF THE CLUTCH. THE ALUMINUM FRAME IS NOT CRACKED BUT RATHER THE WELD JOINING THE FRONT SECTION OF THE FRAME TO THE REAR SECTION OF THE FRAME IS CRACKED DOWN THE CENTERLINE OF THE WELD. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING AROUND 10% OF 2006/2007 MODEL YEARS OF THE FZ1. YAMAHA CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS CRACK IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY ROBOTIC WELD. WHICH WAS CHANGED FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. I DO NOT KNOW THE DATE THAT THE FRACTURE HAPPENED. IT IS BARELY VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. YAMAHA TECH REP IN DENVER TOLD ME "WAY OUT OF WARRANTY" & OFFERED $250.00 TOWARD THE COST OF REPAIRS WHICH I ESTIMATE TO BE $2500.00 I WOULD HAVE FELT BETTER IF THEY OFFERED TO SELL ME A NEW FRAME AT COST BUT REALLY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE & YAMAHA MOTOR CORP. OF AMERICA IS ACTING IN BAD FAITH.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE, THERE IS A WELD THAT CONNECTS THE UPPER PART OF THE FRAME TO THE LOWER PART OF THE FRAME. THE WELD IS LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE CLUTCH COVER. THE WELD HAS DEVELOPED A CENTER LINE CRACK. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON A FZ1 FORUM, THIS IS AN ISSUE OTHER WITH THE 2006 AND 2007 FZ1 OWNERS HAVE HAD.
