Looks like youre clear.

 

L2 750 just bought in April. Nothing from this end.

 

Thanks for all the replies.

 

been a while since ive been on here, there is a recall of the front master cylinder of all 600, 750 from 08 to 13 i think. Ive been hounding my dealership they finally placed an order of 20 units this time and im one of them.

Im in Aus if that helps.

 

There is a recall for th dealers to change out the mc and resvior. But there is a wait on parts that are at least two weeks out for riders living in Hawaii. My l1 brakes felt spongy so rebelled with motojoe tutorial on the how to page and for the time being there much better for now looking at the brae mob RCS right now thou.

 

I started this thread before the M/C recall was issued. After the M/C recall came out I posted it on here but the post was missing the next day so I posted it again thinking maybe I don't finish the post correctly or the forum screwed-up or something strange happened. The post was again deleted at which point I got a PM from SAMANTHA750 (no disrespect intended) saying if I posted it again I would be placed on vacation. Which I believe meant be Banned for a period of time. Apparently since the M/C recall came out many folks are posting it all over the place so the Admin's are deleting them everyday to try and keep the same type of post to the minimum. So my advice is do not post a word about the M/C recall because it will be deleted by the Admin's and you could be in trouble. In fact, I hope I'm not in trouble for this post.

 

Yup, deleted 6 threads about the MC yesterday and 4 the day before. It gets out of hand when there is a recall as everyone wants to be the first to post on it.

 

Samantha750, understand completely. No worries.

 

Sucks, I just dropped off my L2 750 @ the dealer to fix the recall, they said it's gonna take a week to get the part.

That's Bullshit.

I called the dealer. They got the part. I rode it in. They replaced it. I rode it out.

 

Should of made an appointment for when the master cylinder arrives.

I would just pick my bike up from the dealer and have them call you when the part arrives

Yea I was told I have to leave the bike then the dealer can order the part. I got an L3 600 and the brakes are still fine. They said since holidays are coming up might have to leave bike for a couple of days. Ima go back after thanksgiving thou

Ask them to show you the Suzuki requirement that you have to leave your bike for a week or two so they can perform .7hrs of labor

I was told to bring the bike if not they won't order the part.

I was told to bring the bike if not they won't order the part.

The only reason I can see to inspect the bike before they order the part is to personally view the vin number and see if it has been done already.

But really.... They can cross reference the vin number to see if that bike had been done.

In any situation I do not see why you would have to leave your bike there. Usually shops will charge the owner for bikes sitting around.

 

Brembo master cyl installed...Issue solved :fact

 

LOL, yeah good call

 

The dealer called and said the bike is ready for pickup, he said they took the part off another bike and put it on mine. Here's a before and after and it doesn't feel spongy any more.

Glad you got it all worked out!

 

Making a call about this tomorrow. And I thought the spongy feeling was a sign of me putting on weight lol.

 

Just got the letter in the mail yesturday. Will be taking care of this monday.

 

OK, question. Based on the recall notification Suzuki will offer reimbursement for parts/labor spent to resolve the "spongy brake" issue that led to the current recall (below excerpt from recall bulletin). If I purchase a brembo Master cylinder and have it installed could I get reimbursed for that??

It also mentions prior repairs. Does this mean that it is only able to be reimbursed if the repairs took place prior to the recall notice?

Me? I just flip the kickstand down with it in gear, that usually stops it....Failing that, just throw her on her side and there is another switch that will shut her off..

 

But you guy act as if it causes some fucking harm to the bike, Jesus.... Worry about something important.
Two steps or one, big deal. It's not your bike.
You should see the stuff that comes into my dealership that DOES matter, how someone shuts down their bike in a harmless fashion.... Not.

Those asking about reimbursement of a brembo.,.. :spit :lmao :wacko

Basically what that likely means is if you bought a mc rebuild kit to rebuild yours or recently bought a new mc from a Suzuki dealer

 

You mean I can't get reimbursement for my $160.00 Spiegler SS lines (for firmer feel), $55.00 Vortex Sprockets (had to gear it so it would go slower in first), $360.00 Brembo master cylinder (to make it easier to bleed), $2, 000.00 Brembo gp4-rx calipers (to help solve the spongy feel),$650.00 batfly rotors (needed more surface area and cooling to compensate for spongy feel), and the ultra cool $3.00 Tygon brake line (had to be able to visually see if the fluid was contaminated)?

I had already planned on that $3, 200.00 for presents! Joe..... You just ruined my kids Christmas!

 

Re: kill switch.... I turn it off with red switch then key. I turn on key first... pause... red switch... pause... starter button :frantic....


Tell me how I'm doing it wrong :wait :rolleyes.

 

Yup, that's me.. For 26 years on sportbikes, hasn't caused an issue or damaged on yet, but suddenly the new guys tell me I'm all fucked up....
