Rear Sub Frame
 

I hope I,m not alone on this one....!

Noticed movement on the extaust unit this weekend ,plus the heat sheild was rattling in time to bike, then to my total amazement I discovered the sub-frame completely cracked on both sides , just after the seat unit.
Has anyone else experienced this....??????:mad::mad:

Oh dear!!

All the way through?? Bugger!!

I've got one of the 'legacy' bikes (:)) so haven't had this problem. I do think I remember hearing this happening to other 999 owners though.

Yours is a 999R isn't it? Fairly new? What did the dealer say and who is your dealer?

Apparently it has been known to go, a certain duff batch maybe?
The break is completely through on both sides.
The problem is the constant movement has worn other parts such as the heat tray and rear seat mount are also shot.

Iv been thru 2 , both replaced on warranty :sniff:

Did they crack just after the main weld where the single tube begins ?:puzzled:

Tart 2's on his second mono sub-frame :flame: They should give you a modified one thats got a bigger bracket to hold the exhaust... What year is yours ?

:puzzled: Is yours a mono or bip ? All the ones ive seen have broken on the flat bracket that holds the pipe on....They crack both sides just after the welds :mad:

Mines an 04 model , so they're made a mod then ?
DUK did say they have changed the supplier in Italy

Good luck mate.... Dave's bike was off the road for 6 weeks waiting for the part :mad: hope they have sorted one out for you. If not ask for a bike to use in the meantime... Summers coming !
