I have a frame for a 2009 Zero motorcycle.  VIN number and frame details are shown in the pictures attached.  This came from a motorsports dealer and repair place in Florida that also dealt in Zero motorcycles.  They went out of business and I bought this at auction.

Are these the one that failed and craked that Zero recalled?

In 2010 a Zero MX frame failed in competition. The headtube snapped off the frame rails, per HFL's report.

Shortly afterwards Zero announced an upgraded frame for their MX and X bikes.

The 2009 and early 2010 frames are fine for trail riding and smaller jumps, but apparently aren't up to the task for true motocross riding.
