I purchased outright a 21 gsxr 750 early last month. Today while cleaning I notice my right fork seal was gushing out. Pretty ridiculous a bike with less than 300 miles have a issue already. My last 4 gixxer gave me no issues. Anyone else heard anymore problems with the current 21 models? Factory is cutting corners from the response my service department guy provided me. BS

Yep that’s what I did. They order the part while I was on the phone with them. They are two weeks behind. Definitely some bs but stuff happens.

Fork seals are one of those things that just fail sometimes. You can have bad luck or great luck with oem or aftermarket.

Sorry your bike is out of commission. You could order allballz from Amazon and have it the next day. Tell the dealer to install those, or do it yourself. Fork seals are maybe an hour job max.

It’s under warranty doesn’t even have 300 miles on it yet. What I have been hearing all across the board all 21 models from all company’s have been plagued with issues. The company’s cut corners and rushed production due to not having inventory.

@21TXGixxer I wonder if Suzuki, or any manufacturers actually assemble the suspension components. I bet they get the forks and shocks fully assembled and ready to install from showa. If that's the case, blame is on them and not Suzuki.

Kawi used to use the bpf on the 11-15 zx10r. It would be interesting to compare a kawi oem seal to a Suzuki oem seal...

valid point. Everyone involved cut corners.

I know two other people with 21 models that are having bigger issues than me.
