After i got done riding my Ozark, I took aa break and was just looking at it and saw that the frame, right above the engine, broke from the rest of the frame. This has happened is sevral diffrent places but this time is worse. Im sure its been there for a while and i just noticed. Maybe i was riding it hard, although i live in a town where theres nothing but corn feilds; or maybe the framework on the ozark is weak.

 

I dunno, was it the Eiger or the Ozark awhile back that had a cracked frame. Come to think of it, Suzuki doesn't have the best track record when it comes to building a reliable chassis. Look at the LT250's, early Z's and now a utility quad. Somebody needs to get fired over in Japan...

 

this isnt just a "crack" this BROKE. it seperated from the rest of the frame. This is crazy, time for my vinson..

 

I ride my 02 ozark hard every day, and i have never had a problem. Or atleast i think??????????

Well, if it's still under warranty, you could go that way. Or try and call up Suzuki yourself and tell them whats up and that they need to make itright with you.

 

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\I agree if they want a good rep and repeat buyers they should fix it

 

2 of my friends had this happen about the same time, and they bought them about the same time. Suzuki did fix them.

 

I called suzuki and said what was happening, guess they dont care about there rep

 

same thing happend to my vinny, BROKE NOT cracked. a single piece of tubeular metal broke in 2!!!, i welded it and gusseted it, and so far seems as if it is good

This post kinda scares me, I think I'll go take a look at my Z250's frame soon because I ride the ***** off of that bike.
