Hi,
After 3 years as a Ducati 848 rider and the endless problems that came with it, the GSXR was a breath of fresh air in both performance and reliability.
No monthly visits to the mechanic, just the regular services. The bike rides like a dream in comparison to the 848. In the 2 years I've had it, the only problem I had was a grip coming loose and causing a bar end to fall off mid ride.
A few days ago I noticed some oil on the lower left fork and also some strange clicking noises coming from lower right engine side.
The dealer's mechanic said the seals on the fork need replacing. Ok, no biggie but the engine seems to need 3 shims replacing and they're not even sure they're causing the clicking sounds.
As I'm not the most mechanically-minded person around can someone give me some info re. the seriousness of the problems.
And are these problems usual for a 2 year-old GSXR with 27k km on the clock?
Thanks
