Fitting a tail tidy
 

Hi

Im looking at sorting out my bikes rear end, and am just wondering does changing/enhancing the cosmetics of the bike affect the warranty,

Just trying to avoid voiding the warranty

Thanks for any help

Not sure about the warranty, but I wouldn't have though so
I've got a Hammicad on mine - neatens up the rear greatly - makes it look much more 'pointy', and shows off the LED rear lights to great effect.
However you do get more spray and debris from the road, but that's a small price to pay :lol:

cool was thinking about a tail tidy and a hugger, should be nice,

i phoned Suzuki regarding the warranty and they said as long a no damage was done they would still honour the warranty

make sure you get the right hugger - there are subtle differences between K3 & K4 models - the huggers aren't the same :shock:
mine is busy chamfering off the corner of the toolbox, while the toolbox is busy making a hole in the hugger :oops:

My local dealer can order genuine k3 huggers for £99, should be a no hassle replacement, just waiting til after xmas before i put an order in

What you mean ? what model is yours, mines a k3 model,

Going by Mr Toads sig he has a K4 ;)

The main diffence at the back is that the rear subframe is lower and the toolkit lives in a box just up from the rear shock under the seat. This is what is causing the rubbing (at a guess).

You would be amazed at how many differences you spot when you put a K3 and K4 next to each other.

If yer a short **** the K4 feels much shorter.

K3/K4 huggers
 

I have a K4 and was worried when the Ermax hugger turned up in a bag marked K3. The fit is spot on though, so I guess either the label was wrong or the difference wasn't big enough to be a problem?

I was going to get a skidmark hugger but the guy said that there'd been problems with huggers not fitting the same model - that some k4 models had slightly different requirements and the same hugger wouldn't fit them... said to call back in a few weeks to see if they'd sorted it, but me being me, couldn't wait more than 60 mins before I went and ordered the Ermax one... good colour match on the yellow :)

Got any piccies Toad?

No it isn't, particularly if you regularly carry a passenger, my Hamicad has gone back in the box while the really sh1te weather lasts, it'll return to the bike when the weather gets better.

The Mk 1 Hamicad was a bit better in this respect, as the plate was carried a bit further back, reducing road spray on the back of Mrs Squids jacket, but the potential weakness offsets the desire to refit that.

No need, fitted one tonite.
Improves the look of the whole bike.
Well chuffed!
:D
