GENTLEMEN I OWN A 2006 SUZUKI GSXR 750 SPORT BIKE AND TO PUT IT LIGHTLY, I AM SCARED TO RIDE IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BIKE WHILE RIDING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED AT AROUND 4000-6000 RPM'S, WITH JUST A MINUTE CHANGE IN ACCELERATION THE BIKE ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS A GREAT PROBLEM WHICH CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO FIX. THE PROBLEM IS MORE EVIDENT AT AN ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 195-210F. I ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE AND ATTEMPT TO FIND A SOLUTION FROM WHICH WE ALL CAN BENEFIT. THANK YOU. *TR

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).
