ive had my bike for a week and i already broke the gear shift linkage. i found the parts i needed online for $12, but what a **** show. the little rod from the pedal to the shift mechanism is a brittle little piece. anyone else ever have this issue?

Yikes, no - but I will be checking mine when I get home!
I've never heard of that happening in owning this bike for 13 years. WOW! Must have been some manufacturing error. Maybe the metal was on the thin side. Maybe it already had a kink in the tube. Who can say. But I've not heard of this one before.

the threaded end broke. looking at it, its a flimsy piece for the amount of use it gets. luckily the threaded wasnt stuck in the pivot. that could have been bad. just waiting on a new shift rod now. thanks Suzukipartshouse.com anyone else check that site. Any OEM part needed.
