Tensioner on 00\'s

[OB_DEWEY4]

So is the tensioner a problem on the 00's or just the 99's? If so, why didn't they catch the problem before they started shipping 00's out to the shops? What are the signs that a failure might occur or is it "everything is fine" and BAM! your screwed. I was told this is a problem on all of the 99 and up Suzuki GSXR's and the 1300 by the salesperson, is this true? My little brother just bought a 600 and he's getting close to 1K miles on the ODO. Would be nice to warn him in time.

Get for real. Don't you think if there was a major problem, Suzuki would be recalling these bikes. Think about law suits and every corporation does these days. Seems like you have been reading these boards to much.
