God Bless Suzuki.

It's a little box of tricks, which stops the ignition timing from being
retarded in 1st and 2nd IIRC, and yes it would put a bigger strain on the
drivetrain.

So how do you know its a KNOWN ISSUE.

Please please get this out of your head. Warranty is a misnomer.
Call the CAB or a solicitor and check the SoGA, it'll trump the warranty
every time.

And since when did anyone around here ever accept any first offer of
goodwill/insurance payout/quote/etc?

 

Prolly more + VAT.

I reckon they are saying it's a "known" weakness on the earlier bikes.

 

I agree.

 

They were keen to point out that it's a goodwill gesture. I reckon I
should take it, after all it's out of warranty.

Agreed ;-)

 

I asked them very nicely.

Brakes disks are a consumable item.

 

Cool, that the nicest thing [1] you've ever said to me.

[1] I think it was a compliment. Perhaps Dan looks better than me?

 

I know, I know.

Ambiguous menaing it goes both ways then?

Nope, but lets face it, every single one of us on here would expect a
brand new gixxer thou to last more than the 6 year end point. Assuming
it is maintained correctly.

A point of which I was unaware - and have stated makes the case dodgier.

alleged know issue - blah blah

they can, but they won't. Bad publicity will deter them

I think it's unreasonable and wouldn't accept it without further pushing
for a better offer.

 

If you're seriously implying that I look like Molly in my leathers, then I
would suggest you get your glasses checked.

 

Mine are mainly black, so that has to help.

 

Er.. not sure I would. Certainly not without SOME work needing to be done on
it.

Isn't there a difference between a known issue and an admitted issue?

Well., it's certainly a novel approach.

 

Doubt it Mol, I've seen yr web site

And yes, it was supposed to be

Heh - fair point I suppose

But as noted elsewhere, I thought it was the golden rule of UKRM to
never accept a first offer - be it insurance quote, insurance payout,
goodwill gesture etc.

Suzuki here appear to be slightly on the back foot, might as well nudge
them to see if they'll kneel down as well

 

As are GSXR1000 engines it would appear...............

 

Because there was a blatant design fault with the K1 clutch basket.

 

Have they officially said that? I know you're feeling strongly about this
because you have a K1, but still ;-)

 

No they haven't afaik, but enough people seem to have had it break for
Suzuki to be kind if people come to them with a problem.

I do think Molly has been lucky with the offer, mind.

 

Pushing is what you'd end up doing, certainly.
