There is nothing to it.... Save your money and do it yourself.

...and if you a big problem...who will pay??
Warranty or you?
You save 250 USD but I think is better do the service at suzuki dealer...

It's not that most people cannot complete the service it's more about the 2 year waranty .

If you completed it yourself in England then any future warranty claim may be void within the 2 year period !?

I see. Here we only get a one-year warrant but have a piece of federal law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act. It prevents a warrantor from mandating that you must you their service or parts and if they deny a warranty claim the burden is on them to prove what you did caused the problem.

It's very easy to file a claim under Mag-Moss too and the dealership will have to show up in court.

Unfortunately, most Americans don't even know of it's existence and the dealerships count on that. When they tell me that doing my own service will void my warranty, I can them a liar right to their face.

A big problem from doing the service or a big problem in general? I can't see having a "big problem" from changing the oil, looking at hoses and brakes and checking torque on some bolts and screws.

Anything that goes wrong with the bike that is covered under warranty would be on them. See my post above.

Most dealerships shortcut anyway. They don't give a crap about your bike. You really think they'll take the time to do it right? I let a dealer change my spark plugs on my V-Strom a few years ago. They changed three out of the four because the one behind the radiator is very difficult to get to... so they skipped it. Dealers do this ALL the time. I discovered it when I took my tank off a year later to clean my air filter. Never again.

Stromer, you are right, but the things here in Italy goes different about the two year warranty.
I also know how most dealer work...you pays for things they don't clear/change.
In my past CBR 954 RR, bought with 18000 km from dear my friend, air filter was never changed but my friend payed for it (he show me the paper).

I'm sorry if my language is very bad but I know what you mean...believe me.
Every service they made I re-check all because I don't thrust in what service do...or better...what they say to do.

My first service at 1000 km was a bit less then 100€ and the recall parts were done at the same time. I have signed my purchase of Suzy in January at the Belgian motorshow and I received a 4 year guarantee for that with an assitance coverage. At the same time we could have a loan at 0% rate

D-n. I think I will have to visit Belgium just to get the bike serviced. I had to pay 340€. The difference 240€ will almost take me there and back again.

First service completed. $199aud at the dealership. Pretty happy with that.

That's pretty cheap compared to what I paid. Do you know what oil they used?

 

[Jaked]

Yep, Motul 10-40 mineral. Not great, not terrible, I was planning on doing a change myself midway to the 6k service so I'm not fussed about it.

Had mine done over the weekend, labour was free but had to pay for the consumables. Bill came to £43. The low speed on off throttle action also seems a lot better, maybe Suzuki released a solution for this but not advertising it

Had my first service done yesterday. While there I had my yoshimura titanium blue flame exhaust fitted. I know these "big" exhausts are not in vogue at min but importantly I like shiny big exhausts lol.

Love it!

Does it sound much different from stock and does it have removable db killer?

Sorry for all the questions but i may have to get myself down to Alf Englands and get them to slap me one on.

 

[bikenut]

Unfortunately illness made me deaf in my left ear, although I can hear the lovely sound the bike made originally I cant truly tell you it is much different now, it does sound slightly louder but that's probably wishful thinking more than anything lol. As I have stated previously I only got the can as an "extra" to build up the trade deal on my Diavel. I did see it was around the £650 mark. No baffle to remove, just a 1 & 1/2" hole down to bottom of pipe.
