i know all gsr owners luv your bikes.

ignorant is your own blissfulness in disguise.

i will not post any more gsr defects if found elsewhere in this world.

take care.

ALL RIDERS luv their bikes including yourself , if u r a biker! Pls dun say we are ignorant. Bros here will of course be a bit agitated becos you are repeating the bad news twice, giving the impression that u enjoy posting bad news about our rides. If you are tracking this news in good faith we welcome u to post gd or bad things abt GSR e.g what remedial action the euro riders are seeking against Suzuki Corp for the defects.

fully agree... at least should update us on the cause of the defect and also not just only on the 600s, as there are 400 riders in this forum... we also like to know if the 400s are facing the same problem or not...

i still got enough for HID and Pilot Power 2CT...

hahaha...

maybe we should compile a list of the mods, where to get them, how much etc.. someone i/c then he will edit the list when ppl give info.. what i have in mind is like what they have in the s4 forum, but it's a very long list of items. can copy but i think can slim down a bit coz this bike has not as many sources of aftermarket parts as compared to the s4..

wah!

you guys bought the yoshis oledi arh?

 

Anywayz, I would like to report the success of my mini-trip.

Being bored this morning, I decided to give a ride.

 

Rode all the way to Ayer Hitam.

Maintaining speeds of between 110-120 km/h, managed to hit Ayer Hitam in 45 minutes.

Not bad. The GSR did present much of an issue travelling that distance.

Given weather conditions, I think hitting Melaka or even KL within a morning is not issue.

 

And about the cracked frames, its not a new thing. The problem already started with the K5-1000 last year.

In fact, you can see a good example at Planet Motors. A nice K6-600 with a cracked front frame after it hit a kup at moderate speed.

AND, similar cases are happening with the 2005 R1s onwards.

 

High performance comes at many price. In metallurgy, its quite simple. Something has to be compromised. You want light, you have to give up on tensile strength.

Plus, I say again, European weather is more inclined towards coldness. Coldness tends to make metals more brittle.

I have chatted with a bunch of UK GSR riders. None has reported cracked frames yet and some of them are pretty hard stunters.

 

Well, no point I post much on this matter. The guy is gone with some posting about being ignorant and being blissful. More like post-clocking.

 

Its all up to the buyer. I've known about this problem for over a year yet I still got a Suzuki bike. I know its a good bike nonetheless. It has its share of problems but then again, which bike doesn't?

Its a matter of knowing what is the bike's strength & weaknesses.

Its your choice, whether you wish to bought it or thinking of buying it.

probably he's just a super 4 owner who envy GSR so much..then start posting about cracked frames jus to put us off..

The Knob is just inside the left body frame. If u stood down and see carefully is near to the inner part of the frame.
