Depends on nice dealer though.

The Z750 is no better.
It's upto Suzuki warranty dept not the dealer. I was told more likely to get help if its the upper fork legs (the thin bits) rather than the lower bits that are more exposed to stone chips.

Yep, plus pitted stanchions are an MOT fail, ugly sliders are just ugly. TBH, it's going to happen sooner or later to almost any bike, but it shouldn't happen so fast is all.

I prostrate myself before you. I was refering to the 650 version, being the only one I thought I might be man enough to cope with.

How's it go in the rain?
