Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Modification
Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.
The frame of this motorcycle is made of an aluminum alloy.
Therefore, never make any modifications such as drilling or welding to the frame as it weakens the frame significantly. This could result in an unsafe vehicle operating condition and subsequent accident. Suzuki will not be responsible in any way for personal injury or damage to the motorcycle caused by frame modifications.
Bolt-on-accessories that do not modify the frame in any way may be installed, provided that the loading limit is not exceeded. For loading limit, refer to the accessory use and motorcycle loading section of the owner's manual.
 Warning
This could result in an unsafe operating condition and may lead to an accident. Never make any modifications to the frame. |
