Buddy!!! Nice to see you on! Hows everything going on that side of the lake?? Happy Holidays my friend, to you and your entire clan! Cheers!!

 

[stonesie]

Thanks Billy , all the best to you and yours mate ankles not so good but getting by ..... good to be back on here though !!

 

[stonesie]

i was looking for a second hand frame but after reading some of the posts on here i might approach yammaha first !!

 

[FZ1riderNY]

Damn Buddy! That's busted alright! I would contact them first as well. It's not like you have a turbo on the bike. That looks like a faulty weld to me. The break is right along the seam of the weld.

 

[stonesie]

both sides and it does look like failed welds

Hey Chris, thats the 06' frame?

 

[stonesie]

yes mate !

Hey Chris, thats the 06' frame?

yes mate !

Well as it has been well documented here (and in other forums) some '06 frames didn't leave the factory with proper welds...I guess yours was one of them and the accident didn't help. Not sure if Yamaha will be willing to replace the frame once they find out the bike was involved in an accident.

more to follow !!!

 

[NJFZ1]

Wow mate you did some serious damage to that frame!!!

 

[stonesie]

Wow mate you did some serious damage to that frame!!!

Yes mate ,the engine too ! the engine's locked solid , think its from the debris from the hole in the crankcase . trying to figure out the best way to get no1 piston to TDC so i can safly remove the cams lol clutch is solid looks cracked as well

 

[NJFZ1]

Well at least you're still with us so you fared better than the engine :disturbed

 

[johnnyontherocks]

I would just remove the cam chain tensioner, then the cam chain. I dont think you need to be at TDC.

Well at least you're still with us so you fared better than the engine :disturbed

:tup: I had been putting off going in the shed for most of this year and its certainly brought home how things could have been far worse for me !! "what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger" wish yammaha would make their frames stronger lol

 

[Hellgate]

Wow what a story. I'm not sure how I missed this thread.
