Most Recent Complaints
2002 SUZUKI BANDIT 1200S OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. AFTER RECENT PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED UNUSUALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION ON A VEHICLE WITH 6000 MILES AND NEAR NEW CONDITION. I WAS ABLE TO DO SOME RESEARCH PUBLISHED BY OTHER OWNERS AND FOUND THAT THE YEARS 2001 AND 2002 AND PERHAPS LATER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM RESULTING IN REBUILT ENGINES AND REPAIRS PAID FOR UNDER WARRANTY. THE REASON CITED WAS AN FAULTY DESIGN BY ENGINEERS IN THE PISTONS WHICH LET EXCESSIVE OIL INTO THE COMBUSTION AREAS OF THE ENGINE. THE REBUILDS OFTEN WERE DONE MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL SUZUKI REALIZED THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE PISTON AND REPLACED THEM WITH A 2000 PISTON DESIGN OR A COMPLETE REDESIGN. SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER I HAVE NO WARRANTY RECOURSE WITH SUZUKI. I FEEL THIS DEFECT WARRANTS A RECALL INVESTIGATION, RIDERS OF THE THOUSANDS SOLD OF THESE MODELS COULD BE LEFT STRANDED BY ENGINE BREAKDOWN. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND LONG TERM RELIABILITY ISSUE. THE EMISSIONS ON THESE VEHICLES BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL IS LIKEWISE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND MAY NOT PASS STATE OR FEDERAL STANDARDS ANYMORE. *JB
