Rear pod

Guest

No offense intended if I ask what could be viewed as a no-brainer AND no big deal if that's what it is. We're not all motorcycle experts around here (I'm sure not)...

The hump has two little L-shaped white clips on the side that faces your rear when you're in the saddle. There are little openings inside the seat area that these clips have to slide under to fit correctly. If you have one little L-shaped white clip in the opening for it and the other one between the seat area of the fairing and the clip (ie not low enough to fit in the opening), the pod will close and snap down even though it is technically not on correctly.

In short, look at the underside of the pod and, from the rear of the bike (behind the taillight) look under the fairing towards the saddle. You should see the openings. This might help if there is actually nothing wrong with the bike.

If there is something wrong after you look at this, then you should DEFINITELY go back to your dealer...it's Suzuki's responsibility to provide you with the correct working equipment.

Good luck!
 
mine fit the same as yours so I added piece of rubber on the right side and tape it on the under side of the hump now it has the same openings on both sides it looks much better.
 
I'd like to check in with you-all about how well your rear pod/fairing fits.

On my bike, when I install the pod it's not level. The gap on the right hand side is almost non-existent, whereas on the left-hand side there's a good 1/4" space.

Should I be a whiner and insist that Suzuki replace this part, or is this within the range of normal, in your opinion?
