ok i took mine in for the recall and i was good they said. and the vin was later too.
well now they call and said they need to weld it just in case, and they are going to put some black rusty plate on my bike. (looks like shit.) so i told them can they paint the frame color, suzuki does not have the color hey said..
so now ill have a ugly rusted black piece hanging on my quad.. any ideas or recomdations.............

i belive its the same one.. anyone got pics of how your came out, or looks like?

 

[fatv]

There is no black plate on the frame linkage recall. They sand down and then complete the welds. Where are they wanting to weld a plate?

ya they want to weld a plate thats what they said. i called suzuki and told them , they said they have to paint it the frame color, or new frame.. so suzuki is calling my local dealer now.. im happy now..

 

[Quadprorider]

I'm still confused on what you are talking about.

Let me ge this straight.....You took your bike in to get the frame linkage welded. Did you get a letter? If not why'd you take it in?

Where do they want to weld the plate is what I'm asking.

Lastly, the Color-Rite Suzuki blue code is YBA.

ya i got the letter, so i took it in . they said it was good and take it home.
so they called me and told me right now that they want to weld a black plate on my frame..???
and i said f.u.c.k. that! so i called suzuki and they said they would give me a new frame or paint it the frame color...
is that clear now. sorry i was mad when i posted it.

lil ltr450 please click on the below link and read the complete recall information...this is the same information your dealer receives from Suzuki...

CLICK ME & READ!

After you read that if you could point out anywhere they are welding a plate on your bike...you will then see why we are all confused. No one is mad at you, just trying to figure out what is going on because we are concerned about our bikes...cool?

If it is a completely seperate recall please call your dealer or Suzuki again and ask for the information...thanks man!

 

[gerber]

ya thats the one. but i dont get why they have to weld a plate?
this is the info they gave me. black plate welded by the rear shock???
im lost to. i thought they just welded a line.....thats why suzuki is callin my dealer, and clearing things up.

I don't think you are suppose to take it down to Cooter's Garage in Hazard County. I think only an authorized Suzuki dealer is suppose to do the work. That darn Cooter, always trying to beef things up, lol.

:lol:

Honestly though, your dealer sounds CLUELESS which to me - not a big surprise. Be sure to point them in the right direction before you let them touch a thing

It sounds like they are trying to be innovative, or whatever you might want to call it. When a simple weld-roun' the washer will do.

I would take your bike elsewhere. They could potentially void the warranty by doing whatever it is that they do.

good call...that's what I was going to suggest.

A 2nd opinion ---- go to another dealer.

 

[theonlyloaf]

Yes go to another dealer. If you have it done on your own and anything happens to it either right away or down the line....Your on your own but if "suzuki" does it then your totally off the hook!
