rear brake squills a lil bit...new bike 05

[runsilent]

Rear wheel alignment can affect the brake squeal.  Unlike the front caliper which is of the pin slider type that can align itself a bit to the rotor, the rear caliper is a rigid mount type with opposing pistons.  The caliper will not align itself at all to the rotor so wheel alignment is critical to proper pad to rotor contact.

yea . that sounds about right with the brakes .. as far as the recall update what ever you want to call it on the cams . you can take it to the dealer give them your vin they can look it up and see if it has the vin . they may  tell you it dont . but if it really dose . they will send out a letter to the owner of the bike letting them know it has that recall . i work at automax ford here in texas . and thats normaly what happens . but when there is a recall . when you take it in for service or what not . when they put the vin in it will show them right then and there if it has a recall on it.

but you see its an 'update' not a recall, the differance is it's suzuki being nice and not being required to give you the new cam.  They have to notify about recalls by law, but not about updates. 

My bike hasn't been back to the stealership since I bought it. Sooooo, no flagging in the computer yet. After I do the valves I'll take it in. I'd do it now, but I can already foresee them saying something about the valves not being done, so I need to do that first.

Checking the valves may be part of doing the cam, I'd bring it to them first, and if they tell you the valves need to be done for an extra fee, tell them you'll do it yourself and you only want the cam

Good point. Maybe I'll try to swing by tomorrow.
