Bugger me. Bike troubles

[Wolf]

Which is okay cos I'm planning on a Triumph for my next bike :-)

He likes the "bad boy" image - Triumphs, leathers, black helmet, pushing the bike 35 miles in the dark...

Lol you would fit the RocketIII quite wel I think.

I'm spur of the moment trying to get finance for a Bonneville America thats on Tardme atm.

I would agree that it looks like a manufacturing fault with the chain. I am a motorbike mechanic and have NEVER seen a chain do that.

Just realised I missed a couple of pages of replies before I posted. I still have not seen a chain do that but rather than a manufacturing fault I'd be inclined to point the finger at a cheap and nasty chain. Starts to make you realise how Suzuki can sell the GN at such a (seemingly) rock bottom price. Someone said it earlier - upgrade to something with a bit of class!

That was pretty much the unofficial answer from one of the mechanics. They said that when Suzuki lowered the price on the GN to 2995, (apparently it used to be about twice that), they lowered the quality ALOT too.
