Title: Hey Giannis! You out there??
Post by: fastwin on January 17, 2009, 08:29:22 AM
Giannis,

You may already know about this and I am not sure if you still have your '06 GSXR1000 (it's either an '05 or '06, doesn't matter...) but you might want to look at this recall story. Major frame breakage will always get people's attention. Then again it sounds like it's happening from stunts, etc. Gee, can't you just about break any frame from hard stunting. This sounds like the corporate liability attorneys got a hold of this one. :P Still, pretty up front for Suzuki to make the fix on all the bikes and stand behind the few that have failed. [thumbsup]

Anyway, now back to your regular scheduled Ducati viewing...

You did? I remember the head gasket issue. I also remember that it didn't seem to fix the problem. Did you ever get it sorted out and find what the real problem was? Just curious. Glad you got it sold.

the problem was the mechanic, fixed it alone with a friend afterwards, with a new headgasket and sold it
