| Accessories: Helibars Second Look Seat Skins - Red/Grey seat and pillion seat recovered with color matched vinyl -- looks very good. | |||
| Modifications: 16 tooth countershaft sprocket -- a big improvement in gearing. All stickers removed except "TL1000s" on fairing and "Suzuki" on tank. | |||
| Problems: Mild low rpm stumble FIXED ON 8/97!! by Factory Technician through dealer. Slow weave at high speeds with Dunlop 207 tires (and damper). Stock Metzler tires turn in slower, but are more stable at speed. | |||
|
Comments:
A challenging bike! Great power and acceleration, easy wheelies. Steering damper gives more confidence/control when accelerating over bumps. Waiting to get a pipe/exhaust system until the horsepower figures are in for each manufacturer, and the Dynojet ECU add-on is available to fine tune them.

| Accessories: Steel-braided brakehoses Öhlins steeringdamper Yoshimura RS3 carboncans | |||
| Modifications: Replaced clutch and backtorque (warranty) Replaced ECU Replaced thermostat Changed to 180/55-17 rear tyre, handles better! Lowered front fork 9 mm to improve handling= good! | |||
| Problems: Clutchproblems (slipping during hard acc.), It poured oil into the airfilterbox during topspeedtests on the German "autobahn". Engine too cold under all conditions before I got the new thermostat. Still a bit too cold. Troublesome cold-start. Sudden engine-stops during breaking and idle. "Hickups" between 3000-4000 rpm, even with new ECU. | |||
|
Comments:
The Suzukiimporter says it is important to keep the oil-level at the minimum-mark to avvoid over-pressure (!) Longest day-trip: Oslo-Nürburgring (1470 km) Rear shock-absorber sucks!
