The frame has cracked at the frame weld point on the right side. This is the manufacturers weld from Yamaha. This is a known issue that has affected hundreds of thousands of 06-07 Yamaha FZ1 motorcycles. Yamaha knows of their welding error and chooses to do nothing about it.

My dom is 10/06. The frame is cracked on the right side where the 2 sections meet. Above the centerline of the clutch. The aluminum frame is not cracked but rather the weld joining the front section of the frame to the rear section of the frame is cracked down the centerline of the weld. This is a widespread problem affecting around 10% of 2006/2007 model years of the fz1. Yamaha customer service tells me they have never heard of this problem. This crack is caused by a faulty robotic weld. Which was changed for the 2008 model year. I do not know the date that the fracture happened. It is…
