Just had my 600 mile service done. I put the K&N filter and pre-filter in but was to much of a chicken sh@@ to drill on the carb and do the jet myself. Not mechanically inclined, and no tools!! The dealer refused to drill the slide for me though. I was kind of bummed about that. They didn't want to jet the bike unless I bought a pipe too. Said it would be to rich and cause damage.Then they wanted to argue with me about the oil I bought and wanted to put in. Shell Rotella T from wally world for 13.99 a gallon vs any of the synthetics that they wanted to sell me (spectro, yamalube? and honda cr4 or something like that) for 11.95 a QUART! :crazy: I do believe that this is the last time that they get to do anything for my bike unless it is warranty work!! They weren't going to put the oil in because it says that it was designed for diesel engines. I had to print all of the threads from thumper talk that talked about Rotella and an e-mail from Jesse before they would do it. Then they told me my warranty was void. :banghead: I said give me the number for suzuki customer service. I called on their phone and talked to a rep. Needless to say, my warranty is fine and they looked like an a@@! :p :p
Anyway, the bike runs noticeably stronger with only a faint hesitation when I first get on the gas (idea's anyone) and the front wheel shoots up first when I get on it hard...comes up in second if I short shift and pop it too....nothing good can come from this!!! :crazy: I got the extended fuel screw too. Now All I have to do is work a little OT to pay for a pipe! Fmf and staintune still the only street legal ones available?? Love the bike...dealer is a wanker.

Avoid the dealers like the plauge. Avoid Rusty Palmers service dept in honesdale Pa. Rotella is GOOD oil. I had the dealer do my mods when I bought the bike new and I had to fix everything :foul: new tires beads werent set, didnt have k&n installed properly, carb boots were loose sucking air, didnt set pilot screw after installing jet kit, exhaust fmf connection not sealed clamp loose, I drove away and didnt realize the didnt put an inspection sticker, said the forgot so on, so on......................................... :mad: ,

I installed the mods myself but at 7000 feet the front tire needs help lifting up.
That's with a 160 main jet, drilled slide ,opened air box and the pipe.
