Well not quite, this is my dads bike he's only had it a few months and already he's found a problem. He's alwas good at getting the bikes with faults!!

Anyway he was cleaning his lights to find what looked like scratches on his lights, rubbed his finger over only to discover they were on the inside and some are as big as an inch or more!!

Has anyone found this before on theirs? Also it shouldn't be a problem changing them under warrenty surely, the dealers already sent photos to suzuki to see what they think. They've never seen it before, and before you ask the bulbs are the standard ones so not too hot!!!

The pics not the greatest but you can just make them out at the top of the lights!!!

Weird. Looks like they could be fractures, possibly caused by vibrations or an incorrectly fitting light/fairing?

Should get it sorted through warranty, especially if they've never seen it before.

I cant remember, but i think this was a problem on some pointies, not sure though if it was fixed by suzuki though. Have a word with Samnooshka about it, im sure it was her that had the problem.
