Hi all I have a gsx s 1000 gt just done 1 300 miles I had run the bike in according to the manual but when I start it up I'm getting a tapping sound from the engine has any one else had this as it happens when its hot or cold .
No they did not because BMW made enough changes on their own to not infringe on Suzuki's design. BMW needed to know why the K5 was so good so they took it completely apart and studied it and went from there. Apparently Suzuki never was bothered by it. They went into slow motion globally right after 2005 anyway.Well, shoot...I probably thought my BMW RR didn't rattle, but maybe it's because I'm wearing earplugs when I start it up. Are you guys that are hearing this noise wearing earplugs?
Really? The RR engine was copied from Suzuki? Seems like an infringement issue...did Suzuki ever challenge BMW on this? Very interesting!
