From owner reports, verbatim
150/70/17, have had a recall on my rear tire for almost a year, and my dealer is doing nothing about it, bike has been parked for almost a year while making payments, i have been more than patient with them and have received no help. i was on a 700 mile ride when i noticed my rear tire rubber separating as if it was melted. i have called my dealer several times and they told me they were waiting on the response from suzuki. i have also had other issues from this dealer on kickstand issues, and when i purchased the bike, i rode it for a while and came home to clean it and noticed the the "pinch" bolts that hold my axle in place were missing, and this was even after a full service was done on my bike at the dealership after my engine break-in mileage was reached. i called and sent pictures to my dealer and they said, sorry, come get some more bolts tomorrow. i am simply tired of this situation and would love for it to be resolved. thank you.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
