Suzuki access 125 scooter is a product with lots of problems and bad surprises for the buyer. firstly it is not ready to move easily as compared to honda activa. it takes a bit more accelerator to start moving.
Front shockers are telescopic and are supposed to take path holes with ease but it doesn't. every small thing under the front tyre is felt on handle bars. Adding to problem, the outer coating or paint of telescopic shockers starts peeling off and it looks really ugly.
Front mud guard also give up quite early in life and it keeps rattling and broke very easily(does't matter how carefully you keep it). On approaching service center, prices for small parts are also kept very high and also insists on getting fixed on their service center.
Battery is placed under the foot rest. thus dirt and water easily goes upto battery particularly in rainy days thus making the battery wire to corrode easily. underseat storage and refueling requires to rotate the ignition key in anticlock direction. this appears to be a good thing but actually it makes things worse. repeated use of ignition hole make the connections of ignition loose and then you have to push the key clockwise harder and harder to start the scooter. After sometimes this stops working and then whole ignition assembly has to be reworked.
During winters, it takes its own sweet time to get'heated' so that it wont stop at less accelerator(less rpm). Engine is also not problem free. my access 125 started giving out smoke at just 14k on odometer although no hard acceleration, racing, tripling happened and also all services in time. I had to pay Rs 8000 at service center for piston change.(they says we have to change cylinder as well).
Now a new thing of occasional rear wheel jamming is occurring. sometimes you cannot move scooter forward or backward due to this jamming. once engine started, rear wheel starts moving. it gives a scary feeling that what will happen if the rear wheel suddenly jams when I am driving it at around 50kmph at the middle of road!
Every now and then, some issue or the other pops up. one fine day engine started making loud noise. I immediately switched it off. after one hour when started again, it started normally as if nothing happened one hour ago. I took it to service station and then simply says its working fine without giving any satisfactory reply as to why loud noise appeared. It is surely a below average scooter.
