Hey 'rage-

Suzuki just sent me a factory recall notice concerning replacing the fuel petcock. I would see if you qualify for this refitting at no cost to you, since it applies to ALL vinsons

 

WHAT?!?! When did you get it? I just got my replacement in and installed it yesterday. I hope the part I got is a good one? Cost me $90 with shipping. What should I do e-mail Suzuki? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

I got the recall notice two weeks ago...call Suzuki definitely!

 

I didn't see anything under their web site. Is there a specific year they are recalling? I have an 03.

 

go to Google and enter "Suzuki Vinson recall"

Apparently a fuel petcock mounting bolt is too long on 04 and 05 Vinnys and Eigers

Maybe the problem is same as yours?

Good luck

 

I have an 03 Vinson.

 

Just got back from my first ride after getting the new Fuel **** Assy put on. About 8 miles in the thing quit on me. I fired it up again and drove toward the truck at about 5 mph and it quit again. I got off to have a look and there was oil on the engen so I checked that and it was dry!!! Luckily someone came by about 15 minutes later and gave me a tow. When I got it home I had a better look and the oil plug is missing!!! The dealership is closed that installed the fuel **** and gave it a tune up so I'm paying them a vist tomorrow and going to give them a piece of my mind.

I hope there wasn't any damage but if there is what should I do if they give me problems saying they will not pay for it. They either forgot to put the plug in all together or they didn't tighten it up enough and it rattled off. What to do? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Hmmm, i had a similar situation. My Ozark, One day i decided to take it for a drive and when i started it up it started smoking.... I took it to the dealership and they said they fixed it, didnt realy say what was wrong. So a few days later iit happened again. This happened about 2 more times.And evry time i took it in they didnt pay for it. So i finaly had a look at it and saw that there was no clerance wire...... so the starter wire was against the engine burning. ......go figure..
