Available colors: Matt Black (YKV), Gray (YHG), Blue (YKZ), Red (YHH)

Known vulnerabilities

  • There are increased load change reactions recorded
  • The Velcro pads on the saddle bench often refuse to work
  • The staples on the bench may rub against the paint on which the bench rests. These scuffed areas can rust.
  • The guide of the clutch cable should be bent back a bit, otherwise it will squeak and also chafe.
  • Some models, across the production years 2006 to probably also 2008, tend to occasionally go out when the clutch is disengaged. The Suzuki Germany agency has only been aware of this in this scope since September 2008 and a remedy is to be sought for mid-October. The sudden death of the engine when the clutch is disengaged is not without risk and deserves attention. For this purpose, a solution to the problem has now been found officially after public pressure from indignant vehicle owners. Further information can be found on the self-help page.
  • The first Bridgestone BT014 tire is not the best decision, the BT014 slips without warning. Often there is a switch to Michelin Pilot Power.
