One of the downside about this Mt09 V3 is their chasis... alot of then issue with their chasis after accident.

some us fellas already got to poke about.... main frame accordingly other than a plugged hole, seems to be the same, but the rear frame (bolted on section) is all diferent

imolah long as u dont crash, frame will work fine, hit hard enough most modern bikes will give. this fella the frame is rather exposed. if pecah during accident, i suppose thats where insurance will serve its purpose. Price to pay for that light body i suppose.

the other bigish bike that is on paper heavy but seems to do well is that suzuki 8s

no idea, from whay they are saying, same same, just 2 holes plugged up and thats about it

so happens that, the sliders typically make use of the engine mounting bolt locations to mount the sliders (fairly common, nothing too unusual) so once the sliders get stolen, theres nothing holding the engine in from the front (which i believe takes the most stress when u come off a wheelie)

the engine is an integral part of the chassis, take one look at the structure and i think you can understand why once its nolonger bolted on peoperly, its bound to fail. Its actually a common design these days allows manufacturers to produce lighter frames.

thats what i mean yes, looks to me like its similar take that front engine bolt out and see how much material is actually holding that bike together, theres only the bit over the engine.
