Paulm Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The gearboxes can be noisy,(whining), but in general they are excellent, I have one with 76000 miles and it’s sweet,also had one with 105000 miles and that was sweet too,in contrast to that I had one with 25000 miles and it had the noisiest 3rd gear I’ve ever heard!

KATANAMANGLER Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 3rd gear driven is the Achilles heal for all of the Suzuki in line four 1100 oil cooled engines. 1 Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Did they not have a tendancy to jump out of 2nd gear? Quote Link to comment

Never had any problems with mine ever...keep changing the oil. Geared wrong those bikes, i went one tooth up on the front and its spot on...you need to do a tiny bit of filing on a bit of the casing to make it fit Edited May 17, 2019 by wsn03 Quote Link to comment

IceKat Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Some seem to get problems while others do not, my original 98 Bandit owned 21 years now and with 168k kilometers has had no problems whatsoever . A recently aquired 2000 model showing only 62k has a noticably noisier transmission especially in third. Do we think a stubby can would help reduce the unwanted trans noise ....... 1 Quote Link to comment
