Subject: Cracked Frame 97 TLS

I am the second owner of a 97 TLS, which I am trying to sell. A knowledgeable potential buyer looked at my bike yesterday and showed me that the frame was cracked right behind the radiator mount on the left side. He said this was a problem with the 97 TLS. He said Suzuki knew about this problem and replaced any cracked frames. My bike was apparently checked at one time because there was an OK sticker on the frame.
When I called the local dealer they did not know anything about cracked frames and did not see any info on this problem. Does anyone know anything about frames cracking? Will Suzuki replace my frame? If Suzuki does not replace the frame, can I get the crack welded? Has anyone had this problem? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I just had mine replaced thanks to Suzuki. If you take it to a large volume seller of Suzuki motorcycles they will know that Suzuki replaces it for you and should help you out. (NT) -- rob, 22:15:36 11/21/04 Sun
