I have placed a photo in the "Removing K8 fairings" discussion in the important threads of the Gen II area.

Hey Busgo,
Watson's are replacing my r/H side fairing to see if it fix's the issue then they would look at doing other bikes with the same problem, but mine is a test to see if it holds up :-) let ya know how we go...

Thanks Craig.
Mine is due for another service in 4k.
We can see how yours holds up at Jindy if you have it by then.

Update.....
the grey insert has now done about 1000k's and still holding so it looks as though the replacement is holding together!!! so Suzuki maybe up for a whole bunch of fairing inserts

thats gonna hurt $$$$$

I got a call from the dealer today. A new right side fairing has arrived for fitting on my bike.
We'll see how it goes.

Well I did 150ks without the new one coming apart. I suppose that is a start.
The first one lasted about 12,000 ks though before losing its grip.

R/H Fairing tab started coming apart i did not go back to the dealer because i have the venture shield on fairing. I drilled a 2mm hole through the tab and fitted a zip tie easy fix.
