    Ignition recall

    I took my 08 in. I thought it was a battery,so I replaced the battery and it still wouldn't start. It's a beast to push start a bike of that size. Turns out it was the recall - I ignored the letter Suzuki sent me in the summer of 08 thinking it hadn't effected my bike. They replaced the...

    What percent of riders have been 150 mph

    I have done 175+ a few times and either run out of road, guts, or common sense kicks in. Now that my license has been taken away by the CHP (3rd ticket on a suspended license) I won't be seeing too many triple digits :(

    Front wheel cracked while repairing

    My wheel crack has been fixed - I made a deal with the repair place and we split the cost of a new wheel. They subcontracted out the work and didn't tell me that I was doing this at my own risk. Thanks to all that replied!

    Battery Issue

    ONE WORD - recall! I bought a brand new 08 in April of 08 and received a letter that summer stating it had been recalled due to bad ignition switch/wiring harness. I didn't take in my bike because I thought the problem didn't affect me. Yes, I realize it was not smart to ignore the recall...
