20060503ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
"(1)EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE" A SLIGHT KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE VALVES NOT BEING ADJUSTED. I TOOK THE BIKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADJUSTED THE VALVES "(2)FAILURE ANDS ITS CONSEQUENCES". THE KNOCKING CONTINUED AFTER THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT WAS PISTON KNOCK. HE PUT A OVER A HALF A GALLON OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE. THE CRANKCASE ONLY HOLDS 2.4 QUARTS WITH FILTER CHANGE, 1.9 QUARTS WITH OUT A CHANGE OF THE FILTER. THE MANAGER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO EXCEPT PUT IN OIL EVERYDAY. THE BIKE WAS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 4,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT SHOP, AND THEY STATED THE SAME THING: LACK OF LUBRICATION. I DO NOT DENY THE LACK OF LUBRICATION; HOWEVER, THERE WAS OIL IN THE CRANKCASE. THEY (NEW DEALER) SAID THAT THEY (SUZUKI) WOULD SEND OUT A REGIONAL TECH. TO CHECK THE ENGINE. IT SAT THERE FOR OVER A MONTH. THEY DENIED THE WARRANTY WORK. THEY NEVER SENT THE REGIONAL TECH TO LOOK AT THE BIKE.
