my bikes done 4700 miles, it fell off on wednesday,

i serviced it at 4k, and even though i did the service myself, i ticked off the chasis bolts as i checked them, i dont remember the gear shift pivot being on the "bolts to check" list, although i did look at it and it didnt appear lose, to torque it up you would have to remove the circlip and lever, torque and then reinstall. cos it wasnt on the list i didnt think to do it, so in the last 700 or so miles its woked its way out the full length of the thread (about 10-12mm)

i mentioned the gear shift prob at my dealers yesterday, Padgetts in Batley, they said that they werent aware of any other SV's that had had this problem, and that it cant be a major thing or Suzuki would have been in touch.

could have been a problem if it had come off when i was riding though....
