Hi, I have a 2014 v strom 1000 and after having the first 600 mile service the engine has a knocking noise when hot, you can not hear the noise when running on the road only when stationery, if you put it into gear and load the engine it goes, I have taken it to two dealers and they say it's normal but don't know what it is.
I love the bike, brakes, handling, comfort, power all good but this knocking is putting me off the bike and I am getting nowhere with the dealer or Suzuki customer service.
I have had BMW,s for the last 10 years and had problems but they were always put right, not shrugged off!!.
Does anyone else have same problem?
