Suzuki Manufacturers 6 months parts warranty:
Suzuki Off-Road bikes are designed with cutting edge technology, but this innovation does not sacrifice reliability. Our promise to provide the highest quality machines is backed up with a peace-of-mind 6 months parts warranty. This warranty applies to the entire Suzuki Off-Road Range and demonstrates Suzuki’s continued commitment to customer service. If you buy an unofficial import, you will not get this.
Service Campaigns and Safety Recalls:
Should there be a need to arrange for a service campaign or safety recall to be undertaken on your machine; are you confident that the unofficial importer will contact you? Even if you bought the machine second hand, the original importer has the initial responsibility to contact you. If you have bought a used machine you should check with the importer that they have carried out all service and safety recall campaigns.
Current Suzuki Technicians with the latest knowledge?
Official Suzuki dealers have access to regular technical training for their staff at Suzuki GB’s headquarters in Milton Keynes. This ensures that they are fully up-to-date with the latest developments and are trained to look after your pride and joy to the highest standards.
Your re-sale value may be lower:
If your bike is an unofficial import, you may find it more difficult to sell on when the time comes. Dealers may offer you less value for the bike or may even refuse to accept your bike as a trade in or for sale.
Your bike may not comply with UK racing regulations:
If you buy your bike to race and it is an unofficial import, there is no assurance that it will comply with UK racing body regulations. This could result in having to bring the unofficial import into compliance at a great cost to yourself. If the bike is not in compliance, you run the risk of not being able to race on the day due to failing the scrutineering or even being disqualified after posting race results.
Did you know you have bought an import?
If you have already bought an import, and were not told so at the time of purchase, you may have a claim under the ‘Sale of Goods Act’. We would recommend that you contact your local Trading Standards office to make a complaint. You can find your nearest office here.
