1.) AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO FAILURE...YET. 2.) 2006 SUZUKI GSXR 600 MOTORCYCLE HAVE SEVERE ON/OFF THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS THE 2ND GSXR LINEUP MOTORCYCLE THAT I OWN AT THIS TIME AND BOTH WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH AND/OR HOW SMOOTH THE APPLICATION IS, MOTORCYCLE HAS A ABRUPT RESPONSE. PROBLEM IS ALSO VERY BAD WHEN GETTING OF THE THROTTLE ALSO. BY SAYING "ABRUPT" MOTORCYCLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE SMOOTHLY. IF NOT DONE AT THE UTMOST CARE, OPERATOR CAN BE VERY EASILY BE THROWN OFF AND/OR SEVERELY EFFECT THE BALANCE OF THE MOTORCYCLE THEREFORE CAUSING INJURY,PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE DEATH. MOTORCYCLE CANNOT MAINTAIN SMOOTH/CONSTANT SPEED SMOOTHLY AT ANY SPEED, GEAR OR TEMP OF MOTOR. NOTICED THE PROBLEM AFTER RIDING A DIFFERENT BRAND OF MOTORCYCLE AND AFTER SOMEONE RODE MY BIKE TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. ABRUPT THROTTLE RESPONSE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER AFTER INSTALLING AN AFTERMARKET FUEL INJECTION UNIT BUT PROBLEM IS STILL VERY PRESENT! SEEMS LIKE A FUEL INJECTION AND OR THROTTLE PROBLEM. BOTH OF MY GSXR'S THROTTLE CABLES, LINKAGES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE ALL GOOD. *TR

13V449000 · Service Brakes

Oct 18, 2013

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).
