I once rode a 2023 GT that was a dealer loaner. I was only on it for about an hour and a half, but I thought it was a wonderful ride, except for the loud ticking noise, almost a knock, coming from the engine. A little research online revealed that a defective cam chain tensioner is standard at no extra cost, but no, Suzuki does not want to admit that every single GT sold will develop the problem after a few thousand miles. Why do the manufacturer's choose to stonewall on such obvious defects? No Suzuki's for me.

这些 实际细节 在别的 地方是听不到的 旅行车 不舒服 是非常严重的问题 感谢分享

does this mra screen works?

Ninja 🥷 👌🏻 much better.and no engine problems 👌🏻

I'm 66 and got a used SV650 in May. It's 30 kg lighter and 125 mm shorter than big brother. After 2800 km I'm quite happy with it.

We're twins. Like you I'm a sport tourer, bald, middle aged, and been through dozens of bikes since '95. The solution for me was a 1250GS, Givi Trekker Outbacks and Denali lighting. Florida~California tours with comfort and a bit of sport, these 1250s fly when you insist.

I seem to be following you around bike wise at the moment! How much more comfortable did you find the MT10 over the monster? I've been using a tracer 7 for winter and solo touring but whenever I look at the tall riders I don't half find them noisy to ride at motorway speeds. So I'm thinking of buying the newer mt10 hoping that it still has the upright riding position of the Tracer for mountain roads but hopefully with a flycsreen keep the helmet in clean air! BTW, I may be considering getting a 1200s so if you would be interested getting your old one back at trade in price let me know. Cheers

Hi, I have the RE version. Love it so far but I’m struggling to find the SW Motech tank ring. Where did you get yours? Do you know if it’ll fit the RE version? If so, do have a product code? Thanks in advance

You have to pay for heated grips? Any bike using GT in the name should come with a touring pack. My Tracer 9 GT came with heated grips, cruise control, panniers.

Do you have a link to the comfort seat you mention? How did you get on? I find the GT seat hard as nails after an hour.

Was it your first sports tourer? I know it is too late now and far from me teaching anyone their business, but your complaints about the long riding are common when coming from other styles. Sidebags sell because they are practical, but worthless on a SpTourer, all you need is a tank bag tall enough to lean/hug on it and but still read the dash (instant relief on shoulders/wrists), and maybe a backpack on the passenger seat. The weight must be at the front, going against the geometry of a SpTourer is a losing fight, no matter how much money you spend, and the dealer won't tell you that because they want to sell you shit.

Funny, i kinda went the other way around. My main bike is/was my DR 650. Its a well equipped, heavily modded dual sport with loads of ability for all around riding. The one department where it sort of fails is in any kind of longer street miles over 60mph. It will do it, but that single thumper just works its ass off at those speeds and its not great for noise. Also requires a lot of attention and input as the bike is light ish and has a big front wheel that likes to swim a bit even with the best of tires. As the nearest city to me is over an 1hour, all hitting 75mph interstates for some duration, i needed a bike to manage that more safely and confidently. I got the GSXS1000gt for this job but its just so passive around town and the panniers are so nice, i find its just great for everyday round the town riding as well. Probably just going to end up throwing some dot knobbies on my DR and drive it more to the trails than to the city. I think both will be happy this way. BTW, im 6'5 and also find after some amount of time in the saddle my right hand gets a bit numb, im going to try some risers thanks to your suggestion and may try the lowered pegs. Otherwise bike fits me swell. Really pleased with everything about this bike. Exhilaratingly FAST when you want it to be, passive as a kitten when you want that, confidence inspiring all the way through. Quickshifter is just glorious. Really really pleased with it. I have found no issue with the saddle, but, you may wanna check out sergeant saddles as they have a nice one for this bike. My DR has a Sergeant saddle and id trust them to make a good quality product again. I can be on my dr for days without getting sore.

Great video. I got the Suzuki center stand. I still haven't gotten it on the center stand without my little hack of rolling the rear tire up on a small wood block. It's cheating, but until I can get the correct motion to get it on the center stand, my cheat will have to work for now. lol. I uploaded a short about it. :) Having the center stand makes simple maintenance tasks much easier without a doubt.

Anyone put a Corbin seat on the bike? Stock seat is ok for about an hour, after that I can’t wait to get off!!

The Suzuki is soooo damn ugly in person.

You sound just like reefdork 😅

thank´s for the video.

I have the bmw and it’s the best thing ever

How is the 6th gear ratio for driving at a standard 80mph for USA roadways? As far as I can tell, we are in the dark ages of motorcycles, where political forces are colluding to stop motorcycles from having an overdrive gear (95 mpg gas mileage instead of 60 mpg). Sixth gear was never supposed to be a "passing gear." It's not a good thing when you have plenty of power in 6th gear, it just means the gearing is way too low. Soon, all motorcycles will have a functional tall windshield. And they will come with a super tall 6th gear overdrive, even on small enduros. The 1983 Honda XR500 had a super tall overdrive 5th. Why can't figure it out 40 years later?? In conclusion, I can't wait for the end of ultra low geared, zero wind protection, angular spaceship 1980's styled motorcycles.

I have one of these. Unfortunately it is dead now and I cant find a replacement cover as they went bust. 🤦‍♂️

it would be very nice if you had experience from Bandit 1250 and could make a comparison, or if anybody else here has experince from both and can comment here.

I've had the XE for a few years. I don't know if I agree with the power thing for most people but I personally agree. I think I just have a need for speed. 0-60mph is nice on this bike and it got pull all the way to 4th gear. Top speed with the limiter is about 114 mph but the true top speed isn't that much faster, no more than 125.

Nice video 👊

It’s a fun road bike that can be used on off road by very trained riders. Very beautiful, not practical for touring. Not practical to tour on it with two people. Hard to be joyful on highway long miles, like every naked bike, it prefers the back roads. This Bonneville bikes have a beautiful design, all of them. And the big scrambler is no exception. In conclusion, this is not a jack of all trades bike. But it is a excellent second bike!

Just saw this. Looks like evo tech have stopped supplying the quad lock with that lovely bracket : .(

Thanks for sharing it. Sometimes we just see thangs after time. Drop by when have time, you may like my content. Cheers and take care.

Thanks for this, I’m considering a centre stand for mine, so very helpful! I’ve found on my previous VStrom 650, pulling the bike backwards when standing on the lever seems to improve the movement of the bike rear wards, but it might be different on the 800. I’ve subbed for your future DE content 🙏😀

I found after having both stand feet touch the ground pressing down with your foot while pulling the bike up with the rail helps a lot, from my experience though SW motech stands for up a lot easier but maybe come off a bit easy too. I love having one though can allow you to park in tighter spaces being up right

Thanks for the review. Good things to think about.

Thanks for this honest review. I've sold mine because of the wind protection. Now I have a vstrom 800 and I have the same problem with the headlights (the same ones), it's DANGEROUS ! Luckily the vstrom can be easily equiped with additionals headlights

Damn that paint

It’s a great bike, I bought one despite the minor issues many people are concerned about. Vibes/CC/heat etc, but it doesn’t cause me issues - I love it 😀🙏

Euro bikes beat the japanese bikes in every comparison for the past 16 years strait . Go to pro testers like 44 teeth ect euro bikes win all as euro bikes better in all aspects now

As someone that fit transparent valve covers on my BMW R9T and straight up open clutch cover on my dry clutch Ducatis, this is gold and a must have

Thx for the video! Just ordered mine :D How is the MRA windshield? Do you recommend it and is it quiter to drive at higher speed?

I have a 2024 GSXs 1000 Gt and I absolutely love it. The lights are extremely bright and give more the ample coverage. Maybe your headlights weren’t adjusted correctly? I did get a Sargent seat made for the bike it’s extremely comfortable. I’ve been on 5-6 hours ride and it was very uncomfortable for me. To eaches own

The one thing I can't find is a rear light replacement that incorporates the turn signal in it so that I can get rid of the ugly stock rear turn signals. If anyone can find one, I'd appreciate it.

Good info, I was looking at this Bike...But

Hi mate, I'm just curious about the USB charger. I also have the 800DE and am experiencing my iPhone not charging (it drains while charging) when plugged in and using Navi. Are you experiencing the same problem?

507 Lbs is Hideous 😮... The old F model was 472 stock. Its like they purposely made it heavier to be more like the Kawasaki.

The only point I give to the Suzuki is the quickshifter which is very smooth. All other areas go to the 1250 RS. The Suzuki is just far to expensive for still beeing a Suzuki and you will regret to have bought the GT latest when you want to sell it again.

Just complete an Iron butt (1000 mile in 24 hr) with this stock bike and fits me fine and through it was super comfy for me, being 5'11. It might be worth giving some rider specific height and so on if you found it uncomfortable so people can get a gauge on if this might be good advice for them or not. To be honest the first people I've heard to not get on with comfort or lights and had probablems with paintwork. Not my experience of the bike after 12k mile and 2 and half years. Didn't opt for the panniers however and probably won't now and 100% agree about the heated grip.

Ordered my GT today in Red. And I bit the bullet and got these. I didn't want the Oxford box on my bars. Good video.

Thank you for posting this! This is a bike I've had my eye on for a while, and probably will end up buying by next year, but this video was deeply informative of some issues to mitigate going in.

Good video ! Just a point, you don't need to unscrew the two screw at 2:31 to remove the fairing.

I was coming down from a K1200s and looked at the Suzuki , was offered a rather good deal but ideally I wanted shaft/main stand and decided upon the RS , add a set of handlebar risers and I’ve found my ‘forever bike’ ❤

I got the RE and I thoroughly enjoy it

Thanks mate

Much difference than a cover?

I’ve got a 900 scrambler 2018 with 65 brake horsepower, Yes, there is wind blast and a five speed gearbox but they are long gears love it to bits, also got a Busa 195 brake horsepower no wind blast, but I have more fun on the scrambler.
