Hi everybody,
It's interesting to observe, in New Zealand the rear subframes were all replaced under warranty, I know the bloke who changed most of them. When I came here I was told by Suzuki NZ to be wary of Suzuki Australia. I think it is the dog eat dog society that seems to be evolving. At least we are all supporting our fellow rider.
As was mentioned above, the achilles heel was 2nd gear, hesitation in shifting between 5th and 6th is cured with a hefty boot and miles. I have a 2000 model, purchased at 18000km, that now has 40000km on it and the 5th/6th change issue is gone.
I also find that if you are doing a quick 4th/5th/6th change, stay a few seconds longer in 5th, also makes a difference. The gearbox is similar to my old RF900, made by Massey Fergusson and pretty much bulletproof.
Regards
