Well, I fell victim this morning to the dreaded Suzuki kick stand problem. I've only owned the bike for a week so you can imagine the words coming out of my mouth when it fell!Wtf

Not to mention that I was going to do the stand mod this weekend as well. F&%k!!

Luckily thetank was fine and the good news is that it just grazed the left hand side fairings. The bad news is that it's scratched every fairing on the left side - the front nose fairing, both front fairings (colour ed and black) and the "pod" fairing that holds the indicator.

So, I'm looking at options in getting the fairings fixed and am looking at either painting them or replacing them with original parts.

I am sure both will be expensive......

Can anyone recommend a bike repairer/painter in Brisbane that does a good job?

Cheers!

Can't help you with the repairing but I empathise with you over the weakest link in the suzuki product. I have adjusted mine but still feel it is dangerous. Best to always park it in gear then you feel more confident.

Just claim it on your insurance.

Well I have thought about that - it depends on the cost of the fix really!

That said it doesn't look too good 6 days into your policy claiming on it! Very Happy
