Manufacturer, Suzuki is offering its customers free oil filters as a bid to say ‘thank you’ during the current economic downturn, bike insurance customers may like to hear.

Within the next month, Suzuki motorcycle owners will be able to benefit from the free genuine oil filters.

Andy Taylor, of Suzuki GB said:  "With the current economic gloom, we wanted to reward our customers by giving them something back."

According to Mr Taylor, Suzuki feels that now is the appropriate time to launch the deal as more people are likely to get their vehicles serviced as the winter season kicks in.

He said: “With winter a common time for riders to service their bikes, we felt it made perfect sense to launch this offer now, which will also be applicable at the London and Scottish Motorcycle shows too."

Bike insurance customers of Suzuki bikes can obtain the oil filters by picking up a voucher from the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, taking place at Birmingham NEC from Friday 28th November to 7th December.

 Vouchers can be redeemed any authorized Suzuki dealerships between December 1st 2008 and March 31st 2009.

Oil filters are of great importance to a vehicle as it cleans out contamination from unburned fuel and debris as it circulates in the car. A vehicle without an adequate oil filter is less likely to last as long as a vehicle with one.

Bike insurance customers are advised to ensure they check their vehicles on a regular basis to avoid major problems.
