Re: Alphadot - Standard on All Suzukis?
 
When I looked at changing the registration details for the Alphadot on my second hand K3 SV650s end of 2006, I couldn't get in touch with Alpha Dot at all.
I ended up ringing Suzuki GB directly to try and get some contact details and was told that they were unable to confirm the 'status' of Alphadot.
I suspect that they may have been having financial difficulties or something.
I think Suzuki had also stopped putting Alphadot on new bikes at that time as well.

I then found their website again last year and was able to phone up and arrange for the transfer of my details for a ?15 charge.

FYI - spoke to Alpha Dot on Friday and they confirmed that Suzuki stopped paying stealers to fit as standard with new bikes. Said I could buy a kit from them (I think she said £25) or buy a kit for a tenner off eBay then ring up and register.

I asked about the eBay thing, seems they have a little sideline selling through there as well.

Kits start at £7 thru to £10 not sure that there's any difference though, they all look the same.

Wouldn't be so sure, look above, if it's selling for < £10 on Ebay think how much the dealers can get it for.

Also I've bought 2 new Suzukis from different dealers in the past year or so, neither had Alphadot.

Having said that, my K3 SV *did* and I don't think it was added by any of the owners.

My alphadot kit arrive this morning!

£8 delivered - gotta be worth it for the insurance kick-back alone!?

The tube of little magnetic spermoza will be applied as soon as I clean the bike at the w/e.

Jubbly :cool:

This is correct, Alpha Dot has not been fitted/applied to Suzuki's as standard for the last two years now. Doesn't mean it has not been fitted it just means that Suzuki themselves don't include it in the price, many dealers still do offer Alpha Dot for free or the equivalent Datatag.
