Hi, ive got a k7 sv650s. It recently went into a Suzuki dealer to have a front fairing fitted. Ive since noticed that they did not replace a bolt, which i think is the lower rear mounting bolt (found a picture in the Haynes manual).
My knowledge of bikes is pretty limited, so how dangerous is this? and what steps would you advise i took? eg just get a new bolt, or send in a complaint etc. Cheers ![]() ![]() |

Flipping through the haynes book last night, it looks to be the lower rear mounting bolt, so same as you said. Ill be giving the manager a call today, see what they say.

I found my 05 missing this bolt after about 200 miles left it for about 3000 miles before doing anything about it and it melted a little of the fairing where it was closest to the exhaust and left rub marks on the engine case. I wouldn't be happy that it was missing.

I phoned them today, theyll fit a new one if i take it down there. If they are expecting me to pay for it though they wont enjoy my tone of voice lol. Oh well. On the other hand, its nearing its first 600 mile service, so excited about being able to give it a bit more soon!
