well nothing is perfect and just like the suspension link there is always a few that dont make the grade! Too bad I cant post all the findings I think it would change your mind about the quality!
I haven't zoomed in on the picture, but it looks to me like the crack was there for a while. Dark colour in front of the tire , and shiny ( fresh ) aluminium colour where it finally let go. Giving it a bath once in a while , that crack may have been discovered before it failed completely, Ohhhh thats right , some of you guys are allergic to a clean bike :D-Ron.
Someone could of jacked the bike up under the swingarm stressing it in a way it wasn't supposed to be stressed. Who knows? I'm still saying that it's a sound system but like any component it can be damaged by abuse.
Pete and Mark , I respect both of you greatly , but if this happened to me I would not be happy . Sorry to be the fly in the ointment , but maybe their is a legitimate cause for concern here .
sorry Im havind trouble loading a photo attachment - is there a secret button hiding somewhere??
From the photos, it looks like there may have been a crack for a while near the hole. Then the rest of the break looks fresh.
The whole bottom part that the hole is in looks darker than all the rest.
One could argue that one should check the swing arm for fatigue every now and again...
It's hard to check for fatigue that's about to cause a crack. You're pretty much limited to checking for an actual crack.
