I've had four Suzukis in a row that haven't been in the shop 7 times put together. If you eliminate crashes and fork seals ruined by bad wheelies and stoppies, that number goes to two and they were both recalls. Some rinky dink part on the 'Busa and the frame recall on the '06 GSXR.

It was a few recalls, and then the same problem that the techs never figured out over and over.

Ouch, that's the worst kind! I'd imagine you're not paying for these visits.

Ugh, a buddy of mine has been having a recurring problem with his Buell as well. Dunno if it ever got resolved... I know he's taken it to like two or three different dealerships in the area and no one seemed to be able to figure it out.

It was all warranty work. So, I wasn't really pissed.

Archren, mine was running very rich. It had a lot of stumbling and hesitation. Would idle irratically and stall. Turned out to be a bad throttle position sensor.

Sounds very similar to the symptoms my friend's bike has been having. I'll mention it to him to see if anyone has checked it yet.

I think this happened to OSP as well on his trip out west but he traded it in for the 954 to get back home.

It's common knowledge that most of the fools that work on Buells at the dealer are just that...fools. Which is a shame for the company to have such a shitty network of dealers, salesmen included.

I'm lucky...I've got a great dealer and a good service department. They've always been good to me in the two times I've been there. (TPS reset and headlight recall).
