Thanks for the heads up. I have a 2006 GSX-R1000 but never received any notice. Does that mean I am outside the VIN range or they just want me to die? I will look into it.

I've never heard of any tranny issues. My 06 750 has been down hard a few times and my frame is fine other than damage done by the frameslider.

I know for a fact there are way more 10's with broken frames than there are Suzuki's. If Kawi had recalled them I'd most likely have an 04-05 10R right now.

The recall has just started, I dont think Suzuki has mailed out any notices yet. I'm sure you'll get one.

I haven't received one yet either. This has been a know issue for a while.

What dealer? Make sure you post back with how everything went and all that. Also, could you take the fairings off and snap some pics of the work when it gets back? Thanks alot!
