MY PROBLEM CONSISTS OF A JERKISH FEELING FROM DE-ACCELERATE TO ACCELERATION. I WAS RIDING HOME FROM LATE DINNER WITH SOME FRIENDS AROUND MIDNIGHT, WAS COMING TO A CORNER WHERE I NOTICED WATER FROM NEAR SPRINKLERS, I THEN LET OFF MY GAS TO SLOW DOWN TO COME INTO THE TURN, AS I STARTED TO GIVE IT GAS AGAIN, IT SHARPLY SPED UP CAUSING ME TO LOW SIDE FROM THE CORNER. I WAS GOING NO MORE THEN 15-20MPH, AS I WAS COMING OUT FROM THE CORNER APPROX. 30MPH. I'VE HAD A FEW OTHER SUZUKI BIKES, OLDER YEARS, NEVER HAD THIS SORT OF PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN RIDING FOR OVER 5-9YEARS. *TR

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZING THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. THIS CAUSES AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER ENGINE RPM'S (4,000-6,000 RPM) AND SEEMS MOST PREVALENT AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES (205+ DEGREES) AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND STARTED WHILE AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES. *TR

THE BIKE WILL NOT TRAVEL A STEADY SPEED, IT GOES FROM HARD ENGINE BRAKING TO JERKY ACCELERATION. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE CORNERING BECAUSE YOU CANT MAINTAIN THE PROPER AMOUNT OF THROTTLE. *TR

I HAD AN OVERHEATING ISSUE WITH THE BIKE. THE MOTORCYCLE HAD 800 MILES ON IT. I WAS RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE AIR TEMPERATURE AROUND 70 DEGREE. THE BIKE WAS RUNNING AROUND 200 DEGREES. WHEN I STOPPED FOR GAS AT THE GAS STATION THE BIKE IMMEDIATELY OVERHEATED UP TO 250 DEGREES WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL MOTORCYCLE REPAIR SHOP REPAIRED THE BIKE AFTER THE FAILURE AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THIS SERIES OF BIKES HAS A DESIGN FAILURE AT THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THE HOUSING IS SMALLER THAN THE THERMOSTAT'S OPENING PART SO THE THERMOSTAT CAN NOT OPEN FULLY OR CAN BE STUCK INSIDE IN A PARTLY OPENED POSITION. THE LOCAL SUZUKI DEALER IGNORED THE PROBLEM!!! THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE BRAKES DOWN. AMERICAN SUZUKI HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY A LETTER ABOUT THE PROBLEM THERE IS NO RESPONSE YET. *JB
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-572-1490. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36).
