    WTF, so suzuki wont warranty anything with moving parts cause it might wear out? I'd have thought bearings where the one thing you'd want under warranty

    Thats bullshit. Do other makes do the same?

    Yip got it in one I'd say, Mr Wanker had a look at the bike today after I figgered screw it I have to take a couple of hours of work.

    well as it sat there a drop of oil fell to the ground and Mr Wanker put his fingers under the fork... and what do ya know, he had oil all over his prety fingers.
    "Ohhhh" he says "thats not good" Is'ent that what I said, then he gave me the spele about how they are ment to have some residue on them... again

    Anyway its all booked in to be replaced and Mr Wanker did say sorry that I had to bring it in so I'll give him credit for that. And I took the T shirt in to the shop that I won at the Glenorchy rally for best Euro bike and the staff in there said I could swap it for a Guzzi one (it was a Hog shirt) the Guzzi shirt was 3 times more costley so the Manager said shed take $20 of it..... awesome aye
    cheers DD

    I've never heard this thing about forks sposed to have residue on them. I know you get some from stiction leakage, but its a new thing to me that its 'supposed' to do that.
