It's an old thread but I am looking to get my DL650 serviced in the southern Peru area. This would be Arequipa or Cusco (maybe even in La Paz). I'm not going back to Lima.
Would anyone have info on a GOOD mechanic in the area that they would recommend. Experience on big bikes and maybe even with suzuki's!
Cheers

Not a repair shop but I recommend "ferreteria Misti" on Puno street (corner of Goyeneche) because they have a large selection of Metric, 8.8 fasteners wich I find hard to come by.
Also I had a somewhat "bad" experience with the small Suzuki/husqvarna dealer near the centro on the river.
Gave them a list of suzuki part Numbers I wanted to order to get price and Shipping timeframe and after 1.5 days and 4 visits they still havent gotten back to me on price and timeframe.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
