Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Safety recall by american suzuki motor corporation; i received a notice to have my vl1500 intruder inspected at a dealer for a possible fuel leak in the gas tank on this model, i inquired at a dealer who was the closest one [50 miles] in bartlesville ok. they would not make an appointment with me and said that i would have to leave the bike for a week. this was totally out of reason . the fix is to have taken only 2 hours max. i called the manufacture and was told that the recall had to be taken to a dealer but as you see it appears to me that nobody seems to care enough to make any reasonable arrangement. its up to the customer to deal with their problem as usual. i was on the phone with suzuki's main office today 4/17/2006 at 4:15 pm cst and received no results or clear direction other then back to the dumb dealer at bartlesville. ok. i think the manufactures need a wake-up call. no more suzuki motorcycles for me. i have 4 bikes and thank god only one is a suzuki. *jb
