I had similar dealership troubles until I got some cooperation from Suzuki Of Swansee up here in Mass. I managed to get the blue one and have not taken it in for its 500 mile blessing. I have roughly 800 miles on it and did the first oil change at 500 miles, tightened the chain, lubed pivot areas, and a general overall inspection for soundness. So far I love the machine. I put some Kenda offroad tires on it today and that alleviated and wishy washy in the dirt. However it has brought it to the road...not a big deal. Looking forward to getting a trailer for it and taking it up north.
