hello all
my 600 mile service was due and in the end I did it myself for the grand total of £60 for parts, synthetic oil,filter,K and N air filter,top quality plugs and chain oil all on the famous auction website at great prices
,bless ebay
went over every visible screw and nut on the bike to look for the obvious.
found that the Mexican mechanic that had fitted the sump guard to the bike before I collected it had only fitted 3 of the 4 required bolts to the bike (sounds better now as no vibration at higher speeds) (it has been driving me mad)
there were no washers fitted to the rear sump guard nuts either
brakes all fine as only 650 dry miles with factory grease still visible.
bike now runs a lot smother and more responsive,nearly at 1000 miles so can open her up a little more and feel the power of the DL650.
the dealer I got my bike from went bust(Stratford upon Avon),the nearest Suzuki dealer to me was (lemmington spa) and they wanted £130 for oil and filter change only and a few checks
they kindly explained that only the stealer dealer I bought the bike from would do the first service for free as Suzuki do not offer this bonus any more the same as most dealers now I understand.
I took the bike to my new Suzuki dealers as I have moved up north to a warmer climate recently and I explained my situation with the service problems,the bloke had a little look around the bike and then he stamped my book and told me I looked genuine......warranty en tact and result
result and
