The issue with the FZ1 models was on one of the factory welds up near the tank. The robot welding that seam made a single pass, not the required triple pass. This was where the front and rear frame halves met. Due to the insufficient weld, the frames were literally separating in the middle of the bike! As far as I know, this was on a limited number of 2006 models only and the issue was corrected on the factory line late in the 2006 production run.
With this in mind, is the crack on a factory weld or does the crack appear in one of the solid arms of the frame where previously, there was no weld at all?
Hope this helps!
