dropping the motor out, tearing it down, diagnosing, replacing parts, putting it back together, putting it back in, and hope like hell it starts.

If it is four months old, make Suzuki fix it.

How the hell did you kill your bike?

Anyway, how long ago did you buy it? If it wasn't long ago, then bring it to the dealership and insist they fix it, and tell them you're not paying a dime.

What did you do to it to need an engine rebuild?
