2007 Suzuki Gsx-R600

Defect. 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.

Risk. 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).

FAULTY AND/OR TERRIBLE PLACEMENT OF THE RECTIFIER CAUSING MY BIKE TO OVERCHARGE THE BATTERY. I AM VERY LUCKY THE BATTERY DIDN'T CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE. I HAVE REPLACED THE STATOR, RECTIFIER, AND BATTERY BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS TIME WAS A LOT WORSE. WHY HAS SUZUKI NOT RECALLED THE 07'S?? AFTER GETTING OFF THE THE INTERSTATE, RIDING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, I NOTICED A STRONG SULFUR SMELL WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE BATTERY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY SUZUKI. THEY ARE VERY LUCKY SOMEONE HASN'T LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS.

RECTIFIER AND STATOR PROBLEM. RIDING DOWN THE ROAD THE BIKE COMPLETELY TURNS OFF. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND SMELL SMOKE. I LOOK AT THE RECTIFIER AND IT IS EXTREMELY HOT WITH A SMALL EMBER BURNING ON THE BACK OF IT. BIKE WILL NOT TURN ON ANYMORE. LOOKS TO BE A SIMILAR RECALL FOR BIKES MADE IN 07 AS WELL.

I'VE BOUGHT 2 BATTERIES, 2 STATORS AND 2 RECTIFIERS BECAUSE MY MOTORCYCLE CHARGING SYSTEM IS OVER CHARGING AND FRYING THE WHOLE CHARGING SYSTEM. IT CAUSES MY BIKE TO HAVE A VERY RAPID JOLT/LOSS OF POWER ALMOST THROWING ME OVER THE HANDLEBARS BECAUSE IT JUST FALLS ON ITS FACE AND DIES. THEN IT WON'T RESTART OR ANYTHING UNTIL THE PARTS ARE REPLACED! THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME IN THE 8 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE BIKE AND I KNOW FOR SURE IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST 1 TIME PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING IT..... THE TIMES IT'S HAPPENED TO ME I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55-65 MPH.

BE CAUSE OF THE FACTORY LOCATION OF THE RECTIFIER BEHIND THE RADIATOR THE RECTIFIER WILL OVER HEAT AND BLOWUP CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL OR CATCH ON FIRE RESEARCHING AND FINDING OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD REPLACE THE RECTIFIER AND STATOR TO PROVENT DEATH WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE IF YOUR IN GEAR WHILE THE RECTIFIER FAILS THE BIKE WILL STALL AND STOP CAUSE IT WAS IN GEAR ALSO RELOCATE THE RECTIFIER TO A BETTER LOCATION.

REGULATOR RECTIFIER RECALL I BELIEVE THIS CONDITION TO BE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER. THERE IS A RECALL FOR LATE 2007- 2008 MODELS, HOWEVER MY BIKE IS NOT INCLUDED. FAULTY ENGINEERING LOCATION BEHIND RADIATOR CAUSING OVER HEATING CONDITION IN ADDITION TO FAULTY ADHESIVE MATERIAL. BOTH HEADLIGHT AND HIGH BEAM BURNT OUT- OVER VOLTAGE CONDITION. IMPAIRING ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MAIN FUSE BURNT OUT- CAUSING NO START CONDITION.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 68 MPH WHEN MY MOTORCYCLE RPM'S STOPPED WORKING AND TURNED TO ZERO. I LOST POWER SUDDENLY AFTER BIKE JUST SHUT OFF IN THE LEFT LANE. I HAD TO PUSH BIKE ACROSS MOVING TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD WITH SHOULDER TO STOP. BIKE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THE RECTIFIER WAS SHOT AND THIS IS A COMMON THING ON 06-07 GSXR 600/750 AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALONG TIME. WHEN THE RECTIFIER FAILED THIS CAUSED DISCHARGE OF THE BATTERY AND LEAD TO ENGINE STALLING. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE WHEN BIKE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING IN THE FAST LANE OF INTERSTATE. NO BATTERY LIGHT WARNING OR ANYTHING JUST ABANDONED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER RECEIVING A JUMP FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER AND REGULATOR RECTIFIER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RECTIFIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SHUT OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHICH IS 32 MILES FROM HOME. I NORMALLY TAKE A MAJOR HIGHWAY TO WORK WHICH I DID CAUSE IF I DID BREAK DOWN THERES ALWAYS CARS GOING BY TO HELP. I WAS DOING 70MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT AND HALF WAY TO WORK MY GAUGES FLICKERED AND BIKE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND LOOKED AT RECTIFIER AND THAT WAS FRIED. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ALMOST LOST MY JOB CAUSE I WAS ALMOST LATE FOR WORK. LUCKILY MY PARENTS HAVE A TRAILER TO HAUL BACK HOME. IF IT WAS DARK OUT I DONT THINK I'D BE ALIVE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD GET THIS RECTIFIER PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH SUZUKI.

WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE LAST JUNE I TURNED ON THE BRIGHTS BECAUSE I WAS GOING THROUGH A DEER HEAVY NEIGHBORHOOD. AT 35 MPH MY BIKE LOST ALL POWER AND BIKE SHUT OFF. I PUSHED IT TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND NOTICED A FUSE WAS BLOWN. I REPLACED THE FUSE AND STARTED IT AND THE REGULATOR RECTIFIER FAILED AND STARTED SMOKING AND TURNED RED HOT. IT GOT HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE CENTER OF THE RECTIFIER AND BURNED PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS. I QUICKLY SHUT IT OFF BEFORE THE STATOR WAS RUINED. I REPLACED THE RECTIFIER WITH A HEAVIER DUTY MODEL AND HAVE HAS NO PROBLEMS SINCE. UPON LOOKING AT DIFFERENT FORUMS IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS FAIRLY COMMON SO I WANTED MY OCCURRENCE TO BE NOTED. *TR

I WAS RIDING MY BIKE AND MY BUDDIES BEHIND ME SMELLED A SULFUR SMELL RODE ABOUT 15 MORE MILES AND THE BIKE SHUT OFF PULLED IN TO PARK IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND THE SULFUR SMELL WAS 10X WORSE AND HAD TO TOW THE BIKE HOME. THE DASH WENT ALL CRAZY FLASHING AND SHUT ON AND OFF AND THEN AN F1 CODE POPPED UP. SO THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC AND MY BATTERY WAS BAD,HE SAID THE REGULATOR RECTIFIER WAS OVER CHARGING THE BATTERY. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME MY VOLTAGE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER HAS GONE OUT. GONE TROUGH 6 BATTERIES IN PAST 10 MONTHS. BIKE STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY FELL OVER AND PINNED MY LEG AGAINST MY RIDING FRIENDS BIKE SCRATCHED MOTOR AND THEN HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. *TR

I OWN A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD THE MOTORCYCLE TOWED HOME. THE MECHANIC STATED THE REGULATOR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A RECALL RELATED TO 2008/2009 MODEL VEHICLES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,989. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLAMES NEAR THE HANDLE BAR AREA, CLOSE TO THE CONTACT'S HANDS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND EXTINGUISH THE FIRE USING WATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE RECTIFIER HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE WHICH HAD MELTED THE RECTIFIER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. THE CONTACT STATED THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD THE MOTORCYCLE TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE MECHANIC STATED THE REGULATOR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A RECALL RELATED TO 2008/2009 MODEL VEHICLES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,914.

THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL LISTS THE TORQUE FOR THE REAR SPROCKET NUTS AS 67.5 FT-LBS. THE MOTORCYCLES WERE BUILD WITH THIS SPEC! THIS IS INCORRECT AND IS CORRECTED WITH A SUZUKI SERVICE BULLETIN(BUT NOT A RECALL TO CURRENT OWNERS!). DEPENDING ON THE LUCK, BUT PROBABLY YOU WILL JUST SHEAR THE THREADS AND END UP WITH A SPINNING LOOSE SPROCKET & NUT. A STUD CAN BREAK OFF THE SPROCKET UNDER PRESSURE AND CAUSE THE CHAIN TO BREAK FREE CAUSING A REAR WHEEL TO LOCK THUS RESULTING IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, OR TO CUT THE RIDER'S LET LEG WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. THE CORRECT TORQUE FOR THE REAR SPROCKET NUTS IS 43.5 FT-LBS. *TR

JERKY THROTTLE. *TR

MY SON SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON HIS 2007 SUZUKI GSXR600 MOTORCYCLE WHILE OPERATING AT LOW SPEED. TECHNICIAN FOUND AND REPLACED A BLOWN FUSE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THE PROBLEM FUSE WAS THE ONE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. TECHNICIAN THEN DISCOVERED THE WIRE HARNESS HAD SHORTED OUT DUE TO BEING ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE "TENSIONER". MY SON SAID THIS POWER LOSS COULD BE FATAL IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I SEE THAT SUZUKI HAD A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN A 2006 MODEL: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V566000. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER AN INVESTIGATION / RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE 2007 GSXR600 BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS OR DEATH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600 MOTORCYCLE. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE MOTORCYCLE FRAME FRACTURED AND CAUSED IT TO CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V022000 (STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDER BODY SHIELDS). SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ODOR AS IF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE ON FIRE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE STALLED. HE NOTICED THAT THE MAIN FUSE HAD BURNED AND WAS LATER REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CHARGING SYSTEM RECTIFIER. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,971.

THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN LABELED THE "HERKY JERKIES". WHILE RIDING AT ANY RPM WHEN THE REAR WHEEL SPEED MATCHES ENGINE SPEED THE THROTTLE SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WITH NO WARNING, THROWING YOU FORWARD OVERLOADING THE FRONT WHEEL. WHEN THE WHEEL SLOWS ENOUGH THAT THE ECU CALLS FOR FUEL IT DELIVERS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL AND THE BIKE JERKS FORWARD UNLOADING THE FRONT WHEEL CAUSING AN UNRECOVERABLE FRONT WHEEL SLIDE (WHILE LEANED OVER IN A TURN). THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF WORKING ON THE PROBLEM, WE HAVE DISCOVERED WAYS TO MASK THE PROBLEM BUT NO RESOLUTION TO DATE. SUZUKI HAS RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE CALLED IN NUMEROUS TIMES STARTING SOME TIME AROUND MARCH. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PEOPLE ON GIXXER.COM IT'S A FORUM FOR GSX R OWNERS AND THERE ARE MANY THREADS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I / WE ARE HOPING THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WILL BE ABLE TO SOLICIT A RESPONSE FROM SUZUKI, SEEING AS THOUGH THEY ARE IGNORING US. *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. 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

A FAST ON/OFF OF THE THROTTLE CAN CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED DECELERATION FOLLOWED BY A RAPID ACCELERATION MAKING THE BIKE FEEL UNSTABLE. DOESN'T OCCUR VERY OFTEN. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN BETWEEN ABOUT 4-6K RPM WHEN THE BIKE IS 150+ IN TEMP. THE COMPLETE NOTE/TONE OF THE BIKE WILL CHANGE AND IT CAN MAKING PASSING/DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE. *TR

2007 SUZUKI GSX-R 600. HERKY JERKY POWER DELIVERY, INCORRECT OR DEFECTIVE TPS. VERY BAD, THOUGH INTERMITTENT THROTTLE RESPONSE AND HEAVY ENGINE BRAKING ARE UNSAFE. FREEWAY ACCIDENT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED OR AGGRAVATED BY THIS ISSUE, AS NO OTHER CAUSE IS APPARENT. *TR

BIKE JERKS SUDDENLY BOTH ACCELERATING AND DECCELRATING WITHOUT WARINING AND SEEMINLY NO CHANGE IN THROTTLE POSITION. VERY DANGEROUS IN CORNERS AS THE FRONT WHEEL IS UNLOADED SUDDENLY AND LOSES TRACTION. *TR

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZE THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. 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. PEOPLE THAT I'VE TALKED TO WITH THE SAME BIKE AND PROBLEM ARE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BY DEALERS TO GET RID OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

THROTTLE PROBLEM, WHEN RIDING MY MOTOR CYCLE BETWEEN THE RPM'S AROUND 35,00RPM'S AND 55,00RPMS MY THROTTLE WILL CUT OF DRASTICALLY WITH BARELY ANY HAND MOVEMENT OF LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE. BY LETTING OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT THE SPEED OF THE BIKE IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED BY SLOWING DOWN, THE SAME HAPPENS WHEN GIVING THROTTLE. THE SPEED OF THE MOTORCYCLE WILL INCREASE SUDDENLY CAUSING A SUDDEN LEAP IN SPEED. THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH IF LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE IN A CORNER WITH THE SPEED INCREASE OR DECELERATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND WOULD DISPLAY APPROXIMATELY 7-9 MILES OVER THE ACTUAL SPEED. THE MILEAGE INDICATOR WOULD ALSO DISPLAY A HIGHER MILEAGE THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE SPEED SENSOR. WHEN THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED AND WOULD ONLY READ 1 MPH OVER THE ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME, SHE NOTICED YET AGAIN THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. SHE RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE SPEEDOMETER TO BE OFF APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE ACTUAL SPEED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30. UPDATED 05/28/08 *BF

2007 GSXR 600 HAS SOME SORT OF FUEL INJECTION/THROTTLE PROBLEM. WHILE AT LOWER RPM'S, THE BIKE SHUTS OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON CAUSING DANGEROUS UNSTABLE THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT HAPPENS WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT IN THE THROTTLE AND WHILE ROLLING OFF THROTTLE, IT SLAMS THE BIKE FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION AS IF THE BIKE HAS SHUT OFF. THEN, WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS, IT THROWS YOU BACK IN THE SEAT BY COMING ON WITH FULL POWER. VERY STRANGE AND VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS THEY "DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM" SEEMS AS IF A LOT OF OTHER SUZUKI GSXR OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, SO I'M WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS? VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MY 07 GSXR 600 AND IF THERE IS NO FIX, I WILL TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TRADE IT IN! THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH IF ONE WERE TO NOT BE EXPECTING THE JERKING OF THE BIKE WHILE ON/OFF THROTTLE. VERY UNSTABLE POWER DELIVERY. *TR

WHEN AT 4,000 TO 6,000 RPMS AND LET OFF THE THROTTLE THE BIKE JUMPS FORWARD AND THEN WHEN I GET BACK ON THE GAS IT DELAYS FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN JUMPS AGAIN. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED MY BIKE THE 3 OF OCTOBER 2007 FROM HONDA SUZUKI OF SALT LAKE. AS OF TODAY APRIL 21 2008 I HAVE 1,588 MILES ON MY BIKE. SINCE I HAD REACHED THE POINT OF ALMOST 1,000 MILES, WHICH IS THE BREAK IN POINT, MY BIKE HAS HAD A PROBLEM. THE THROTTLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP AND THE ENGINE WILL ALMOST STOP RUNNING, AND HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING TWICE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING COULD EASILY CAUSE ME SEVERE INJURY, AND I AM LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT. DUE TO MY RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SUZUKI FACTORY SET OF THE TPS SENSOR IS OFTEN OFF. DEALER SHIPS WILL NOT SERVICE THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. EVEN WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED IT ONLY APPEARS TO MASK A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO THE DEATH OF A RIDER, IF THE THROTTLE SUDDEN SHUT DOWN AND SUDDENLY KICK BACK ON AS IF THE ENGINE WERE PREPPING TO RESTART IT'S SELF. SO FAR MY PROBLEM EXISTS AT LOW RPMS BUT MY RESEARCH REVEALS THAT OTHERS PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN MINE. I AM TRULY TERRIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM GETTING WORSE, AND IT IS INTERMITTENT AND NOT CONSISTENT. MEANING THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY AND IS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED WHEN IT DOES. I DON'T WANT TO BE INJURED BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH SUZUKI'S DESIGN FLAW. IT IS ILLEGAL TO MESS WITH MY TPS SENSOR BEING PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $10,000 ON A NEW BIKE THAT SHOULD BE PROBLEM FREE. I HOPE THAT SUZUKI ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR K

BETWEEN 4,000 AND 7,000 RPMS THE THROTTLE RANDOMLY OPENS AND CLOSES. WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER THIS MAY HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND CAUSE A CRASH. THIS TENDS TO USUALLY HAPPEN AROUND HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES. *TR

WHILE RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE, SOMETIMES THERE IS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION WHICH CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO RIDE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS VERY OFTEN AND RANGES FROM MODERATE TO SEVERE. *TR

2007 GSXR 600. THIS IS THE "HERKY JERKY THROTTLE" PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THESE BIKES. BETWEEN 0-10% THROTTLE THE BIKE WILL SUDDENLY CUT POWER AND THEN REENGAGE POWER CAUSING THE BIKE TO JERK. THIS CAN BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN TAKING A CORNER AT A HIGH LEAN ANGLE WHERE LOW AMOUNTS OF THROTTLE ARE USED. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A CRASH... *TR

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZE THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. 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

THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE WORLDWIDE. I OWN A 2007 SUZUKI GSXR600. THERE IS NO "TECHNICAL TERM" FOR THE PROBLEM. WE CALL IT A "HERKY JERKY" PROBLEM. AT SLOW SPEEDS IN LOW GEARS THE THROTTLE IS VERY VERY ABRUPT. WHEN I ROLL OFF THE THROTTLE JUST BARELY, RAPID DECELERATION OCCURS. IT THROWS ME FORWARD. THEN WHEN I ROLL BACK ON THE THROTTLE EVER SO SLIGHTLY THE BIKE JERKS FORWARD, THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN. MAKES THE BIKE VERY DIFFICULT TO RIDE SMOOTHLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, THIS VERY UNSAFE AS IT MAKES THE MOTORCYCLE VERY UNSTABLE. THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THE OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE, ITS TIME SUZUKI DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT... *TR

INABILITY TO SMOOTHLY DECELERATE OR HOLD A NEUTRAL THROTTLE SETTING. INTERMITTENT, ABRUPT OPENING/CLOSING OF THE THROTTLE CAUSES RAPID ACCELERATION/DECELERATION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SMOOTHLY ROLL OFF THE THROTTLE, THE MOTORCYCLE INITIALLY DOES NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL, THEN ACTS AS IF THE THROTTLE WAS SLAMMED SHUT. ONCE A SMALL AMOUNT OF THROTTLE IS REAPPLIED, IT SNAPS BACK TO THE PREVIOUS THROTTLE SETTING. CREATES A JERKY, UNSTABLE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING, OR ON SLIPPERY ROADS. CAUSED ME TO LOSE GRIP ON MY FRONT TIRE DURING CORNERING, AND I HAD TO RIDE STRAIGHT OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE CORNER TO PREVENT CRASHING. *TR

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZE THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. 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

I OWN A 2007 SUZUKI GSXR 600, IN BETWEEN 4000-6000 RPM THERE IS NO REAL THROTTLE CONTROL, YOUR CAN NOT ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE SMOOTHLY, ITS REAL JERKY, IF THIS HAPPENS IN A CORNER THE BACK TIRE COULD BE THROWN INTO A SKID CAUSING A WRECK, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST ALL THE TIME, AND I HAVE FOUND WHEN YOU FIND THE PROBLEM HAPPENING IF YOU WILL PULL OVER AND RESTART THE BIKE THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY FOR AWHILE. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT IN REFERENCE TO THROTTLE IRREGULARITIES FOUND ON THE 2007 SUZUKI GSXR 600 SPORT BIKE. THE THROTTLE IRREGULARITY EXPERIENCED CAN BE DESCRIBED AS AN ABRUPT TRANSITION FROM SUBTLE MODULATION OF APPLYING THROTTLE OR DISENGAGING THE THROTTLE. THE RESULT CREATES A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED SURGE OR RAPID DECELERATION OR THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS CREATES A DESTABILIZING EFFECT TO THE CHASSIS AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT LOWER ENGINE RPM (4,000 TO 6000 RPM), AND OFTEN AT HIGHER ENGINE TEMPERATURES. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS OFTEN AFTER THE MOTORCYCLE IS RESTARTED OR STARTED AT HIGHER ENGINE TEMPERATURES. *TR

ABRUPT THROTTLE RESPONSE. BIKE SEEMS TO TURN ON/OFF QUICKLY WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A RIDE(HOUR OR SO RIDES). SUZUKI DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME BIKE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

ON/OFF THROTTLE CAUSES SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. BIKE WOULD JERK WHEN THE THROTTLE IS SLIGHTLY TURN ON AND THEN OFF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600. ON JUNE 18, 2007, THE CONTACT'S KEY FAILED TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. ON JUNE 20, 2007, THE DEALER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAS YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER BUT WILL CALL THEM ON JUNE 27, 2007. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 800.
