So here are some pics of my frame. The spot on the frame if you cant tell is under the counter sprocket and near the foot peg. There are a total of three cracks. I had only seen two until today. I saw a third while washing it. I had been watching them for about a month. The middle one hasn't grown much, but the one near the foot ped mount grew big time this weekend. I am taking it to my local dealer tomorrow to see if Suzuki might help at all. I have heard some good things about Honda and Yamaha with their frames, so I am hoping that Suzuki will be good about it.

I don't know if this will help, I think it would have prevented it though.

Ive seen this before. Reason for happening is bottoming out on the rear all the time! Walsh race craft has a fix for this. go to there website wrcracing.com its under the ltr450 parts. they put a metal brace around there. the other cracks just weld them up and put that brace and you should be golden.

if you have a warrenty suzuki should fix it if you do have a warrenty and have nerf bars i would take then off and put the stock pegs on it may make the warrenty not cover that part of the frame if you have nerfs on

Don't get your hopes up for them covering it. Especially if it is raced.
