MY 2007 YAMAHA FZ6 BROKE AT ITS FRAME WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE SUBFRAME. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND BADLY DESIGNED. ALMOST LOOKS INTENTIONAL. I BASE THIS JUDGMENT ON HOW WEAK THE MATERIAL IS THERE. THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS PART OF THE BIKE A LOT STRONGER BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. ONE DAY I WAS RIDING MY BIKE HOME FROM WORK I HIT SOME ROAD DEBRIS. AND ALMOST FELL. BUT NOTICED MY BIKE WAS DESTROYED ONCE GETTING OFF AND LOOKING AT IT.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
