Hi All
Passed my big bike test last year and bought 2004 SV650s fully faired and with less than 2000 miles on clock a real Beeeeauty. Up to now done just overv 4000 miles mainly work based but at moment have broken wrist so unable to ride for a while, bit of a sod on days like today dry cold sunshine blue sky but nothin I can do. Problem is gave the beast a wash last week and surpried to find that both forks at top end have rust on them and also the yoke below is covered in srface rust that wont come off, I know that suzuki a bit sus for build quality but rust on suspension oif bike thats not yet 2 yrs old is a bit worrying. Have asked local dealer about warranty (2yrs) but gotta get bike to them to have a look at. Anyone else had any similiar problems and what is Suzuki like for warranty ?????

Have gud day
