Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front wheel bearings failed at about 6500 miles. motorcycle started lurching and i pulled over to the side and one of the front wheel bearings was almost totally destroyed. there wasn't a screeching sound or anthing to warn me that the bearings were failing prior to this. this is a known problem to owners of the suzuki af650 but suzuki has not addressed it. suzuki did replace the bearing. initially they told me to pay for it because it was a bearing that's considered a "wear item." later the dealer reimbursed me for the cost of the bearing and labor.
