check your prop...
if you have a lift and no spacers or driveshaft modifications, then its probably worth having a gander at your shafts...
i wondered what the severe vibration i had under acceleration was.
turns out the rear driveshaft had disintergrated and was hanging on by a thread.
My lift (3.5") articulates too much for the driveshaft, and causes rubbing. And over a year has worn away the U-joint ears.
cost me £100 to have the shaft repaired, luckily they had the part in stock on friday, as i was due to go wheelin saturday and today
purrs like a kitten now
have a look at yours!

Re: check your prop...
where did you get it repaired? i trashed my rear prop end of last year and have been running around on a spare one a mate had. i'm gonna ask suzuki if they have any new ones led about now this has reminded me.
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!
