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.
Well that's interesting. Suzuki specifies an oil change as part of the procedure. Tell your dealer the stator is on the left side of the bike before he tries to replace the clutch with the new stator.

It's that type of comment that makes me dread taking my bike to a dealer for work!!!

I would be quite happy to change it myself if they would let me have one. Been riding bikes for the last 50 odd years and never had to take a bike to dealer until now  :groan:

Hi,
Was the oil and filter change part of the recall or did you perhaps pay for them separately?
My dealer is saying "we may need to top 100ml of oil up but rest assured you will leave us with the correct level".

The recall specifies a change of oil but not filter as the oil needs to be drained to do the work but the filter doesn't. BTW, the maintenance schedule specifies a new filter every third oil change.

OK hear here we go I use my bike to commute to work and I had my recall for the tappets booked in for march 2015. Coming home from work in February 2015 their was a strong smell of burning and the bike stopped running when I stopped at a roundabout and would not start again, it was the stator that had burnet out so I phoned the dealer to get this sorted and they could not sort it until the end of March as they where to busy with the recall for the tappets  :dl_smiley_banghead:. So I ended up getting the stator refurbished by a local independent mechanic (he got the stator rewound with heavier wire). I received my recall letter today for the stator to  be done, my dilemma is do I do nothing or do I get it replaced and ask for the refurbished one back to keep as a spare  :shrug: ??? advice and thoughts Thanks Derek.

The oil and filter change was part of the recall, cost me nothing, genuine Suzuki filter too, I usually use a hi flo filter.

It's you call Derek, I think if it were me I'd go and get the new stator, you'll get your oil and filter done too hopefully.

in reply to Hondaman's #48, the dealer concerned was Cupar Motorcycles.
Suzuki GB did say that they would ask the Dealer Principal to ring me to sort the matter out but it doesn't look like he's going to bother.
So, I have booked my new bike in with Single Tracker of Crewe and have every confidence that they will sort it for me.

Thumper: I had Single Tracker do my recall for the tappet issue a couple of months back; had no problems and in due course will certainly be taking it back for them to sort out the stator as well (got my letter yesterday)

Mine had new cams on the tappet recall due to low miles and they (foundry in Canterbury) also did the oil and filter.
I was told 500miles and sub 5000rpm to run them in, of which I still have a good 300miles left.

So should I wait til the summer and do a good few miles to make the most of the free oil change or is there a time limit on the stator recall?

Another recall  # this time the stator . These recalls are putting me off an otherwise great bike ( 2012 l2 glee ) Seriously thinking of test riding a Yamaha tracer 700 .

At least some tracer models have a recall on the gearbox and oil pump, pretty major parts. Recalls happen. There is nothing wrong with the Glee that isn't easily and quickly fixed.

Godamn it! Dealer wants bike ALL DAY. I said ' I thought it was a 2 hour job'? His reply..... 'yeah well we got so much on we'll have to work it in with other jobs'! I'll probably postpone till it's more convenient-especially as really cold snap is on its way!!

Yeah it's a two hour job... but the engine needs to cool for a few hours or the mechanics get their fingers burnt.

Booked in & dropping off at Hyde later this week for stator & valve check recalls, along with free oil & coolant changes which are about due anyway.

I'm still nervous about the whole experience though.....

Just got mine back from M&S Newcastle. Fresh oil but no filter change. Bike was only there 2½ hrs which gave me time for a run out in the North Pennines  :thumb:
