2004 Suzuki GN125 review from United Kingdom
"Avoid like the plague"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Constant idling and firing problem. The bike tends to run really badly when it has warmed up.
The speedo leaks water.
The ignition barrel works loose.
Rust is a constant battle and the bike is only 8 months old.
The front brake is useless.
Water keeps getting into the petrol tank and then into the carb, which causes misfiring.
I could go on all day, I really could.
General comments?
This bike has been a constant irritation ever since I drove it off the forecourt.
I paid two thousand of my hard earned pounds for it, and since January it's been back to the dealer 6 times.
It's slow even after I had a larger front sprocket fitted. 55mph is all you will get.
The rev counter reads false. One minute it says 8.000 rpm, then the next it says 9.800 rpm.
The dealer has been very unhelpful in rectifying the firing problem.
I will never ever buy another Suzuki ever again.
