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

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 |

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

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. |
