Default Broken frame z400

I have a 2003 Z400 that recently purchase used. I hear alot about the frame breaking. Can someone tell where to look for this damage? Right now I don't see any breaks but I want to keep my eye on it. Thanks.

I don't think that the "normal" rider has anything to be worried about. MXers put sooo much stress on thier bikes compared to someone like you or me. That is what I think at least. I still check my bike occasionally

There have been recreational trail riders around there that never crashed or rolled thier 03 z's who needed new frames. There were also a good number of people having these problems back when the 03's came out who posted about it here.

Well there you go, you have an 05. Your post is barely readable by anyone with a mammalian IQ level but your question could be best answered if you made your own thread and typed it out coherently with a lot more description.
