Yea frankly the dealer here sux-wanted to know if this problem has been seen before and if it can be repaired without going-god forbid-internally. LOL thanks for the welcome

 

[08BusaKY]

and please keep us informed of what the problem was.

Welcome!



You should be able to take it to any dealer.
I would start and find a good one nearest to you.
You may need him sometime.

to the org! As others have said, you really do need to take it to a dealer for warranty service. Good luck.

Ok guys here's what the "dealer" says Suzuki says LOL that some(no explanation of what some means) Gen II busa cases were over-bored out of spec in the counter balance shaft opening- the fix???????? new cases so picked the bike up from the dealer, pulled the balance shaft out just enough to replace the o'ring with a slightly oversize viton o'ring from the local hydraulic shop. Hasn't leaked yet. Wonder why Suzuki says new cases when an ovesize o'ring seems to stop the leak??????? Hope the cases don't have other machining issues as well.

Would it not be under Warranty?

Dude, no disrespect meant to anyone but most dealer's mechanics replacing the cases on a low mileage new pristine 09?-ugh! no thanks if I can avoid it.

 

[markiee43]

NO disrespect. But an 09 with a oil leak isn't that prestine.
