It seems that other engines exhibit what seems to me to be similar problems, eg:

so if I had a bike with the problems I'd be asking them to change the plugs, leads and the ignition coils. If nothing else, they could swap them from their demo onto your bike, assuming you can have a ride on the demo bike to make sure it's not the same.

I've just read all 7 pages of that thread and started to think, has ever anybody tried to remove exhaust flap, just for testing?

And Timmo, perhaps you could let Suzuki you are being put off their product because of this?! That might gee them up a bit...

No point,they are aware and they will probably just bring out another 1000 beige with pink dots or something rather than fix the problem. If I hear the beige one has a problem as well it's the end for me. There's a couple of blokes on this forum who if locked in a Suzuki garage for two days would solve the problem the only way this has gone on is if it's a computer error a mechanical one could not go on like this.

Dint bother bosnjo. I've had my exexhaust flap tested. It only operates in 3rd gear at certain revs. The rest of the time it is fully open. I have taken the can off and looked for myself.

You expect issues with a BMW, not with a Jap bike.

Would it be possible to go to a dealer on a pre arranged appointment with an affected bike and one that isn't, and have them check the throttle bodies, tps and any other possibilities. Hopefully we could find out once and for all if there is a fixable difference. My bike runs fine and I would be glad to offer my self up for a day if it helps sort the problem for others.

That's good of you to offer Blade, just hope they don't bugger yours up by mistake!

oddbod · « **Reply #209 on:** December 08, 2014, 21:09:03 »

Great idea Blade.
can't see my dealer being that overjoyed with the idea though.
Definitely get the impression "we can't be bothered" when you filter through all the waffle and bullshit that's spulled out when trying to have a diagnostic conversation.
The sales bloke is decent enough but the mechanics are either not up to any form of advanced technical capability or simply not bothered.

As mentioned earlier in this post. If someone had the right equipment and a cpl of days spare locked in a workshop, this problem could be solved.

Perhaps its worth dropping my bike off at a specialist and sending my dealer/Suzuki the bill.

Food for thought perhaps??

oddbod · « **Reply #210 on:** December 08, 2014, 21:10:22 »

Much appreciated offer though Blade

If the dealer doesn't have the problem when they test ride it, have you tried getting them on when you ride it?

Hope they sort the problem.

oddbod · « **Reply #213 on:** December 10, 2014, 13:08:48 »

that's where the problem seems to lie with my dealer.

Everytime I drop it in they cannot re-create the issue, or so they say!

Good luck tomorrow wunwinglow. Keeps us updated if you can

Someone like Suzuki, maybe?

Blade · « **Reply #215 on:** December 10, 2014, 18:59:40 »

I'll be going in to my dealers at the weekend so I'll ask them if anyone has had a problem like you describe and what they've done to sort it. If I get anything useful I'll post it up.

oddbod · « **Reply #216 on:** December 10, 2014, 19:54:19 »

wunwinglow, said watch this space and I am what the bloomin hell happened on Saturday. Did blade find anything out ? colonel plum in the library with the candlestick I reckon.

Although I don't have a Veek am following this with interest as am trying to persuade the missus that I need an upgrade and Veek will be considered if the issue is resolved

I've forwarded a link to this thread and others relating to the DL1000 to Suzuki UK on at least three separate occasions, they have ignored me each time.

The next time they want to use this site as a launching pad for their products I may just give them the same level of response
