any pics on the cracked frames?
where do we look out for it?

Wow !....was that 5 frame cracks all at the upper rear shock mount?

I know you said one was a 2014 bike but what were the others?

Spookily, I've got my bike down to a bare frame at the moment (Tenere) with 50,000 Km and there is no paint flaking or cracking or rust , to indicate stress, appearing around the upper shock mounting area.

Just found a crack on my 2009 Z with 110,000 miles today. Had it welded by a Mexican in Ciudad Constitucion, Baja. Not a bad job but could have done better myself being a mechanic and Ex fabricator. It will get me home. Pics are on the FB page.
