Need help asap

[Dksmoke]

Hate to ask guys but y’all the busa family. Was heading to Georgia for vacation on the 22 busa and hit the bridge transition. Broke something under the bike. Definitely aluminum. Might need new rims and at least the rear tire. Anyone have a diagram of where the rear suspension hooks up to. Literally in the side of the highway right now trying to figure what I have to do to get her back on the road. She is literally laying on my helmet cause I can’t put my kickstand down

That looks like the frame mount has snapped off
I would be on the phone to Suzuki as that should not of happend, even if you hit a really big pot hole.

edit.
You have a longer swinging arm fitted. I would get that removed ASAP. IMO thats a insurance W/O.

My homie said the same. Guess she is going back stock then.

Really hard to tell from that picture but that bike is a flat-bedder, you ain't fixing that on the side of the road.

Must have been some hit to break that off...

Hopefully you have AAA or something like that....

[scotty - 12]

Wow! Lucky you didn’t get hurt! Yeah you are done.

[mysticblu999]

Do you still have a shock on the rear?

Anyway, that frame is toast. I would total that thing out.

[Spudley]

Nice work peeps.

I maybbe wrong, but the frame should still be fine. Doesn't the swing arm bolt to the shock? And the lower mount on the shock broke free of the swing arm...so who made that aftermarket swing arm is the question?

[Kiwi Rider]

The broken piece in the pic is definitely the frame mount for the shock linkage , see it's painted black same as the frame... it's also cast aluminium just as the frame is, the shock absorber is still mounted to the linkage piece.
Your frame is toast, with that extended swingarm, I'd say your factory warranty is also toast... powdered toast sorry to say.

This ^

[Got-Busa?]

Are you sure it’s the frame and not the mount on the aftermarket swingarm?? Looks like the swingarm from what I can see.

[InfiniteReality]

Dog bones attach to the swing arm.

I can't even imagine how hard that hit must have felt to do this. And the parallel lines on the tire is wild and crazy deep

Definitely would deny warranty but being on the frame that broke if you swapped stock back in could maybe skim by for warranty

I learned something today. Yeah the angle of the piece led me to believe it swung down and forward, but now I see it swung down and back AND rotated the broken piece. I wonder if it was torqued past 57.5 lbf-ft and that's what caused the damage

[mabupa]

Wow! I’m glad to see you didn’t go down. She is totaled. There was another member a few months ago that did some work in that same area and broke the frame the same way.

[2000TransAm24]

My goodness! Are those tire gouges from the license plate bracket/bolts? Looks like it had started cutting through the belts and only seconds away from no longer having a rear tire. As unfortunate as the situation is this could have easily been significantly worse and even tragic. Glad you could walk away from this Dksmoke!

In my opinion I think the extra length of the swing arm has caused extra leverage and when the rear wheel was impacted by the 'bridge transition' the added (leveraged) force has stressed the mounting lug part of the chassis past the point of what it could bear.
I've never heard of this happening on a bike with standard length swing arm.

[mysticblu999]

I have never seen one break with a shock. Only those solid pieces that replace the shock. Your arm isn't even that long.

[Bumblebee]

I think we need more pictures and info to draw a proper conclusion....

If I remember correctly, there are some shims or spacers that go in there and if they are left out or put in incorrectly those “ears” get side loaded when the bolt is tightened. The correct torque is very important too. This sure is a sad sight and the more I look at the pic the more I feel like the OP is extremely fortunate to not have gotten hurt.

Well it will add insult to injury if it is going to be non warranted.
