My engine (DF50) has 300-400 hours.. Every year is cheked on the suzuki's service.. <br /><br />But this year something goes wrong.. They changed the "pieces made of rubber and some other parts " in the Engine holder...<br /><br />They told me that this is Suzuki's weak point.. and that i'am not first person with this problem.. also they told me that suzuki haven't resolved this problem.. <br /><br />I don't know what to do.. I own my suzuki for about 2-3 years.. but if I must pay that sum for the service every 2 years.. huh.....

There is a service bulletin or service letter about these parts. I will look for bulletin number, when I get back to shop next week.

There is a bulletin about replacing the engine holder, but I could not find anything on the engine mounts. I think the old holder was causing the rubber parts to fail. I will look again later.
