bloooody suzuki parts
 

well bike has done 4500 miles yes 4500 and the swingarm bearings are completely shot... bikes just turning 1 year old... so here goes another warranty claim... :smt075

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

Bearings are a consumable I believe.

Now if only Suzuki would invest in more than one tub of grease a year for the factory.

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

I believe your correct in that, mind you it would still be worth a good moan at the dealers.


That's generous, I always thought the whole Jap bike industry had one tin of grease per year & they shared it! :D


Cheers

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

defo speak to the dealer as bearings should last way longer than 4500 miles or 1 year, consumables or not

would be surprised if they were not replaced under warranty

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

Not that generous - they buy one tin and divide it into individual tubs - Mr Suzuki has a smaller tub than the others however.

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

I would hope that to be the case also, but was just preparing the OP for the worst.

And pre-empting the "Stupid Suzuki Warranty Exclusions" thread :)

all manafacturers are skingy wi grease....every bike i buy, i go over everything straightaway, and grease em proper..a good dealer will do this stuff in a pdi

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

time to speak to your friendly salesman at Cupar bikes me thinks!!

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

Is the swingarm loose?

Re: bloooody suzuki parts
 

well i've to pop in with the bike for them to have a look.. so if they do the bearings then that will be, so far under warranty claims a new top faring, lambda sensor and the swingarm bearings within 1 year...

i wouldn't mind if the bearings were only a couple of pounds, but for the two of them it comes to £154 from Robinsons.. thats including the spacer's and tube..

if they do a warranty they will be getting told to grease the blooody things.
