Looks a lot better than I thought it would when I read the thread title.. good work! I very nearly bought one of them as my first bike a few years back, but ended up on a GS500 just due to hesitancy of the hyo build quality etc..

Another Hunkadung does a big end, when they first landed in Oz I did heaps or warranty claims on big ends at real low Km's too.
Bad luck, be carefull your mods dont affect your claim.

hey hyo,the vfrs still there i think you are on the rite track re;differences in the models cosmetics and wheels ,not 100% see you at this saturdays bbq.
hey oldskool you was right , dropped into the dealers today to see if they had started on it , he said that they drained the old and found the hardening from a bearing in the sump so they reackon the big ends gone [B)] , pretty sure that i told them about the developing noise was coming from the bottom end , but there going to rebuild it was hoping for a new crate motor but o well , 6 weeks and i might get it back!!!!
no new motor there rebuilding it , they found crank end bearings were stuffed not the suspected big ends , they reackon that the crankcases are out of alignment but i think this is a bit of a cop out as if it was it wouldnt have lasted 13000ks id thought
its been 6 and a bit weeks its stripped and there waiting for engine case to turn up they reckon 4 more weeks , WTF how long does it take
need to ride real soon watching to much ghostrider dvds and moto GP with the helmet on isnt cutting it
then its for sale any takers
but they will change them wile they are there RIGHT.

Good on ya hyo
thought those things had the suzi 650 motors out of the sv
why are they having so many problems with them?
similar but not even the same , some parts are interchangeable like some bearings and valves but everything else is different , unfortunatly
its due back today but got a call seems know one ordered base gaskets and they got none in stock , freight from east mabye next week , bugger
this all sounds very familiarquote:Originally posted by bluemk1

i had similar problems with 2 sv650 motors
sorry to hear they are dragging their feet on this hyo
but believe me, it could be much worse
for example suzuki aus could completely fuck you over on your warranty and leave you high and dry PLUS take months to deliver parts when you pay to have it rebuild after getting sick of waiting over half a year....
Rev the fucker!!!!!
Hey Guys,its a sad statement on the way the australian distributors of most motorcycles on the market just dont or wont hold stock so that repairs take much longer to complete.smash repairs are a fuckin nightmare.the poor customer can wait months,especialy european and all the while the local bike shop cops the flack.mostly the the customers especialy the people who have been longtime regulars are understanding but its just not right...
understanding is my middle name , its a good thing im a nice guy and dont mind the wait but it is starting to wear thin
