I had my rear wheel re-spoked under warranty a month ago.
Suzuki will start off by saying that their warranty doesn't cover it, and I quote- "''It is clearly corrosion so we will need to know what cleaners and chain chemicals are used please. Other cases we have investigated have all been corrosion, the plating on the spokes is discoloured and will not clean back to a shine because of this. The factory call it cosmetic and there is not reduction in spoke strength, just the appearance is changed. As any repair will be with the same parts until the cause is known it will doubtless happen again is he carries on the same routine. Saying that we would be interested to learn the cause (chemical) as it will help us improve things.''
1. Find a Dealer willing to take the work on. Suzuki will not deal with you direct.
2. I\ Dealer sent them pictures of the front & rear wheels (front spokes are perfect). So how can the problem just affect one end of the bike if it was my cleaning that caused the issue?
3. I never cleaned with anything that wasn't a specific bike cleaning product I.e. 'Muc-Off' or 'Pro-Kleen'
4. My Dealer backed me to the hilt. It should be noted that my Dealer wasn't even the Dealer I bought the bike off ;-)
