K5 Offical Suzuki Fairing lowers - Red - Page 2 - SV650.org

I agree with the comments before.
It definetly appears that yu have the wrong ones. I looked at a K6 in the shop this mornin' it is a solid red.

I had a K5 which I traded in, a metallic red, much nicer IMO.

The bit about being sold a K5 model as a K6, hmm? I'd be havin' words if I were you, especially if you paid full whack for it.

Best of luck, hope you sort it in the end.

But the Thread is K5 - so you must have thought you were buying a K5 (and have K6 lowers).
I'm confused which way round is it?

Soz about the confusion!!

I was sold it as a K6, or at least that was my understanding. They never told me it was a K5. I've paid the book price of £4600. I found out it was a K5 from examining the log book just before I posted on the forum (wasn't really that bothered what it said when the v5 arrived, just checked me name was right).

When I orderd the lowers I just asked for ones for the bike I'd just bought five weeks ago, so the spares bloke figured it must of been a K6.

I was at another bike shop on Saturday and asked them about the different shades of red and they confirmed that the K5 was a pearlescent red and the K6 a flat red. The K5's definatelyt a better colour.

I'm going into the shop tomorrw to exchange them and have a wee discussion about ethics. They've agreed to exhange them at no extra cost - which is jolly decent of them! I'll angle for getting the lowers for free. But that said they've been less than generous so far so i'm not holding out to much hope.

Oh and by the way the shop in question is Shirlaws in Aberdeen.

When I bought my K5 I had the lower fairings fitted at the same time. The colour matchs the rest of the bike perfectly. Sounds like you got a duff pair and should contact Suzuki and complain.

What does it say on your paperwork. If the invoice says "K6" and you've been sold a K5 then I would be wanting a refund or a new K6.

Personally I think you've been overcharged if its K5..

See what they say if you dont like it make a fuss !!!

Hope you get it sorted.

I would go crackers with them. Simple way to find out what year is it look in the service book you got with the bike theres a pink sticker inside it. that will say the model and K 5 or 6.

If its def a K5 I would go in and go mad woith the dealer you may even have a compensation claim check all the paper work that you got from them when you ordered it and teh recipt you got for it. If it says K6 on it somewhere you should def look in to legal action.

I bought a red SV650S K5 on a pre reg 06 plate from a local dealers at the start of May and I paid £3800 for it. It was registered to the dealer on 31 March so I lost out on 6 weeks recovery and warrenty and just over 2 months road tax. But i was still very happy at the deal.

Another thing mate I would have done is look in MCN as the normal advertised selling price for a new SV650s is £4000 and some of the companys will even do cheep or free delivery on that nationwide!

My K6 S purchased this weeking was £4150 on the road from a Suzuki Dealer. I would be having words if you paid RRP for last years model mate.

Definately had me pants ripped down. And there was me thinking I was well travelled and quite worldly. Unfortunately, this is one of the drawbacks of living in Aberdeen - limited choice and so no real competition bewtween dealers - nearest ones 90 miles away.

Anyway, their answer to the issue was that "they didn't realise" it was a K5 otherwise they would've told me. This had me in howls of laughter as I just turned my back and walked out the shop. Just as I closed the door I told them I'll be in touch, after I've worked out what to do about it.

This one could run and run.
Still, sun's shining and it is currently my bike so I'm orf oot.

How long have you had the bike ? IMHO they've over charged and mislead you.

I would be looking for a substantial refund or replacement of the bike with a K6 if that was me.

Good luck getting it sorted outl

I would contact your local trading standards office mate as they have mis sold you. Or at least threaten them that you will do that. I personally would cause a huge scene in the shop when its busy that will make them sort you aout quick smartish. I aint being funny but if they did not realise then they are simply not up at there job as they dont know the product that they are selling.
