Of late one can view spate of advertisment being beamed through channels on this Suzuki Access 125. We purchased it when it was introduced in the market. It is since a year we have been using this vehicle. We were advised by our vendor to get front guard fixed to our scooter to avoid dent to the front portion. It fell down on the day it was fixed during ride. Subsequently we were advised by one of their mechanic that the guard will not withstand the front portion as body covering the front tyre is made up of plastic. The front plastic cover, in due course, also got crack and the vendor refused to change it though it was a manufacturing defect. The vehicle requires frequent refill of engine oil as otherwise the vehicle fails to run smoothly and some kind of rugged noise emanates from the engine.
After say, using for six months the vehicle drags in the initial start up and the throttle also becomes sticky.
This requires to be attended every three months. The seat is too big and wide and it is a task for a pillion rider to board the seat especially if he is a little old.There is no hand grip for ladies who sit on the pillion. One is advised to desist from having a front basket as it hinders the legroom of the driver. The mileage part is o.k. The indicator lights requires frequent repairing.
Of course the vendor provides two years maintenance free cum paid service, sandwiched in between, a clever ploy to retain the customer with them. Spare parts are not available any whether other than with the vendor who are hardly one or two in a metro like Chennai. The rim also does not withstand bump which are common in our Indian roads.
Hope the company would have taken care to address these problems in the vehicles which are being pumped into the market now. Now we had to change one of the tyres as it was worn out just after a year.
