Suzuki recall notice

[max_caper]

Most of the Suzuki owners here may have already received this notice but in case you haven't...

Suzuki has issued a recall on several of their 2008-current scooters, motorcycles and quads. I just received my recall notice in the mail. This link has more detailed info (or you can ask your dealer to run the VIN on your bike to be sure).

Here's a better link, I think. The recall for my bike has to do with the charging system overheating. In my recall notice it also mentioned that the bike would not produce sufficient charging power for the engine management system and to re-charge the battery.

I am not sure how the nuclear crisis in Japan is affecting shipment of replacement parts from there.

Only took 1 week for the inverter/recifier part to arrive at my dealership. As per the recall notice, the parts and labour are free to me.

Cheers!
