Paul_Nicholson, I don't know how they stay in business with how they operate. I'm considering my options.

Got my DSA letter about my stator "assembley". Hope the mechanic's better than the typist.

What dealer is any good up there? Might be worth it if they'll give me a toy to test ride for a few hours.

Probably because it's not considered a safety related recall ,if it was Suzuki would be via the DVLA contacting all registered keepers. Well that's what Honda had to do early this year and 5 years ago when my Black Spirit was subject to a safety recall.

Hahaha, Less than 24hrs and I get the recall letter too, my bad, it was the DVSA and not the DVLA that get involved.
 Suppose I'd better make contact tomorrow with my local dealer, it says they only need the bike for up to 2.5 hrs.

DL650 2012. Choice of 2 dealers - I've had 'issues' with both, although nothing 'over-serious',  so I shall just toss a coin and hope....

No letter yet but my bike needs recall work according to the Suzuki web site.  Usually get servicing done by a local KTM dealer who have a mechanic that was a long term vstrom owner.  Looks like I'm going to have to book it in at a Suzuki dealer and hang around until it's done.

Got my letter yesterday (2015 al5 650) but already knew about the recall from the web site.
Next question is for those of you that have already had the work done or who have booked it in, is the dealer suppose to change the oil as they have to drain it out. FOC as part of the recall?. The dealer I spoke to didn't mention it when I spoke to them before Xmas, it would be nice if we all got the same deal! if not maybe we should all contact Suzuki UK?  I'm not having mine done until the weather gets better and it needs the yearly service (march) as I don't ride in the winter anyway.

@pb I was told by M&S Newcastle that the Suzuki bulletin says the oil should be changed.

Got 'my' letter today......even though I sold my glee in march of last year. Its really great to know that these government agencies keep their databases so up to date. :dl_smiley_banghead:  :dl_smiley_banghead:
So if anyone on here bought a red DL650 glee from Tinklers in Norwich about march/april of last year, you probably won't get a letter but it needs recall work done on it!!!

Hi,

Letter has duly arrived and bike booked for Friday the 13th....really hope I am not pushing my luck. I noticed a comment earlier about oil, my dealer said nothing about this when I called in.  I have just called my dealer who tell me that they will not be draining the oil as the job will be done with the bike on it's side stand and the oil will have drained to the other side of the motor. I had an oil change in September and have only done around 1000 miles since then so should be OK.

Took a ride up this morning to my local dealer JW Groombridge and mine is now booked in for 9.00am 21st January,as I'm going to the Ogri MCC Kickstart rally the following weekend I'm glad to be getting it done beforehand. Plus I've taken the opportunity to book a Royal Enfield Continental GT demonstrator out,saves sitting about while they do the work on mine.

Out of interest, does anyone know:
a) How many stators have failed worldwide
2) How many will be changed altogether

Anyone knows any dealers in Essex or Kent that will be open on Saturdays? I don't really fancy taking a day off to get recall done.
