I still seems as though the bike has problems but that folk are prepared to put up with them.
No for me.  I take all this thread as a dreadful warning.    If I pay a dealer for a bike I know that every £   I hand over will be perfect. There will not be some with only 87 pence. Therefore I expect the bike to be perfect and yes I know there are no "perfect bikes" but I mean it must work as well as any others that have been sold. I absolutely never will buy a Veek.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.

No problems with mine still to date, and judging by Veek owners around the world they too appear to be problem free..it appears to be a very isolated problem. But before I get shot down there are clearly some problems. But overall it seems to be the minority not the majority

Seems the owners of the Veek are positive people looking for reasons to enjoy the bike, even if for some it's not a perfect bike.

Seems some people don't like positive accurate feedback. Quite simple really speaking for myself if I didn't enjoy the Veek I wouldn't have bought the fecking thing! And if I didn't enjoy it after I bought it....



Id fecking sell the foooker! Not that I have to justify what I ride to so called fellow Strommers!

I've got a pair of Levi jeans in the wardrobe and one of the seams has frayed, that's it for me I will never buy a pair of jeans again.

Chatting to a dealer today about this ....... he reckons some dealers haven't been setting them up right. Says they haven't had an issue .
Would say that, wouldn't he.
Mind you offered me a spanking new one at £8299 without the unwanted luggage. Tempted.

All I wanted was Suzuki to accept there was a problem and be seen sorting it like yamaha did with the MT-09. If they sorted out the problems some have it would make their brand stronger.I want a Veek not a desert strom or the new stealth just a Veek I don't have to worry about. I can't believe some have been so patient on cutting out on roundabouts etc, it's means possible death. I will now Demo the Tracer and I have always been a loyal Suzuki rider( even the bad ones) I understand the defensive words of Veek owners but come on a £10,000 bike you have to keep worrying about. I have seen the unprotected electrics and that is expected from China copies not Suzuki !

I am so happy that when I get my Veek, I'll have some many non-owners worrying about me and my bike  :auto-dirtbike:

C,mon gents let's bring some realism into this. The majority of Veek owners are more than happy with their bikes. The problem is the manufacturers having to run the bikes with a ridiculously lean set up to pass the draconian emissions laws. This is not a Suzuki only problem it's a an across the board situation. Go on to any forum and you,ll see the same complaints and the same fixes. Re flashing the ECU, installing a power commander etc. As for build quality then yes Suzuki have always been a little way behind the other three and always let the price reflect that. I'm not including European makes in this equation because whatever issues they have comes under the heading of character. This is an indefinable quality which costs more to install and is exempt from any complaints. But please don't be naive enough to think that paying more will protect you from problems, They're machines, we love them but they break. Some more than others.
If you think you can, or you think you can't, either way; you're right.

Nice post Blade.

It will be great to see you and your Veek on track at Cadwell.

(You should be OK, no 1st gear corners) :)
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

I have the joy of owning such an animal - the 'character' that is: low speed snatchy throttle; horrendous mileage; lack of any real storage; 18" rear wheel; rectifier failure; sand in the coolant; price of spares; frequency of servicing; cost of servicing. I could go on a bit but I'm only depressing myself....

However,....

What I have is something that: is a hoot to ride; is well screwed together; uses metal bolts; has a stonking motor; anti-gravity front tyre; and has an image and presence that the Strom couldn't match - how many times do you get asked if you're still enjoying the insanity???  

Do keyboard warriors slag them off on interweb forums? Yes. Do I care? Not a jot. Live with what you have & accept that it might not be everyone's choice.

Was at the MCN bike show in London yesterday.
Paid a visit to the Suzuki stall and it was interesting to see a new Veek on display "sports edition". This bike comes with a yoshi pipe.
Bearing in mind I have just put an arrow pipe on mine and noticed a significant difference, have Suzuki identified the same solution to this intermittent issue? Just a thought!

Roadrocket pleased you are enjoying your Veek too. I must say that's a brilliant video over Applecross brings back great memories. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback Ziggy :) We were incredibly lucky with the weather that trip. I'm planning on returning in Spring over to Arran and possibly Applecross again :) Beautiful place. Although this time I'll have a 100 horses on the other side of the throttle ;)  :auto-dirtbike:

Definitely vast improvement with arrow exhaust!! (Not sure whether TC on 2 is also helping or just a fluke).

Just done a lovely 50 mile run. Mixture of fast roads and urban roads with filtering. Whole ride was lovely and smooth without a fart/splutter or potential cut out during the whole ride. (Givi screen also makes a huge improvement with buffeting).

Will do the same again next week and if no signs of the old issue then I will start to be silently optimistic and chuffed.

Although to be honest, overall, I am already silently chuffed.

Feeling positive!!!!

Hello Oddbod, glad you seem to have a resolution to your issue. Read this thread through a couple of weeks ago to see if it offered me any insight into my issues with my bike. Some symptoms seemed vaguely similar but it turned out to be something very easy to fix instead. I started a new thread on it instead of posting on this one. But if you haven't checked it out, it is simply some wires chaffing on the underside of the tank until they wore through and started shorting.
As it was a map sensor wire it only had any affect at full operating temp etc etc.
I recommend you have a look at these wires as I will bet I am not the only person this will happen to.
