2012 snapped subframe
Was out for a ride and snapped the sub frame on a little rock step, there was no crash, has any body else had this problem? Thanks |

Wow, looks like it broke on the edge of the tank, but the tank is supported by the mainframe loop with the rubber trim. Could that have been damaged by a previous crash or loop out? I've heard of one broken like that, but any good flip will probably trash an alloy subframe as well. With alloy though you have a chance of bending it back to keep moving. I ride a lot of hard stuff and my bike has taken big hits, including hitting the linkage and catapulting me off the seat and its has been fine.
Thats a big reason I want to scrap that oversized Stealth, its just a big lever waiting to break the subframe if it hits a rock on the end in a crash or even a tipover. The shorter, smaller the silencer you can get away with the better. |

I'm confident that your dealer will be able to replace it for you Poncho. I've heard no other reports of such damage either.

Looks a lot like my collarbone a few years back, not as bad though.

My dealer will take care of this ( thanks Dave) and I will report once I have the new subframe on.

Ours broke in a different spot (both sides).

looks like GG may need to offer heavy duty sub-frames for some of the ahem larger riders out there ;-)

This is the 5th one (that I know of) out of 140 that have broke here in the US. Two were from crash damage. These parts have been strengthened on the 2013 models.
