Re: Head gask. or exhaust man. gask?
I took it back to the deal to see if they would warranty the original repair they did on the head gasket. They said they would still warranty (even after 90 days) if it proves nothing else caused it up a bad gasket. I think I will get screwed on this one. A question I wish to pose is this. I was told that I will continue to experience this type of problem by the dealer and some other bikers i know because i ride a 250 at speeds over 55mph for extends periods of time. Do you guys agree or disagree and why?

"55 for extended time and lots of hills where you are running WOT could have a bearing on the issue at hand."
What about all the guys riding 70+ on the interstate? I though I would be on the low end of the spectrum? These engines are said to be "bullet proof"? |

N.E. Georgie....lots of hills. How often and how hard is the bike working hauling you up a hill ? Quite possibly you are running on the edge of the GZ's abilities. Or I could be just full of it and you may disregard my opinion.

[edit] just went back and looked at your first post. It should run "forever" at 60-65......but note the comment about the lower gears.

Re: Head gask. or exhaust man. gask?
Thanks Easy thats what i thought?! Water, I am only 175 and the hills are rolling not steep. Most (if not all) the time I pick up speen and ride out each hill in fifth just loosing about 5mph. I don't think that would be pushing it.

Hmmm, that shouldn't be the problem then. Doesn't sound like you would be struggling to get up a hill. I honestly have no idea now. Maybe you were a bad person in another lifetime and Fate is out to get you. |

Re: Head gask. or exhaust man. gask?
Nah, I am a pretty good guy. I am currently waiting to see what happens. The deal sympathized with me. He said that he has never seen these kinds of issues with a 250 this new. He placed a call into his Suzuki rep to see what can be done cost wise. In the mean time the head has been sent out to be trimmed and the gaskets ordered. Just who is going to pay for all this is yet to be seen. I PRAY it is not me. The deal did imply that they would give me a break.
