THE REAR HUB WHICH THE WHEEL, AND SPROCKET IS MOUNTED TO HAS DOZENS OF CRACKS, SOME 3-4 INCHES IN LENGTH , DEEP ENOUGH TO EMBED YOUR FINGERNAIL INTO. ON WWW.LABUSAS.ORG DOZENS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME BIKE, SAME YEAR HAVE EXPERIENCED CRACKS IN THE HUB. IF THE HUB BREAKS THE RIDER WILL GO DOWN, CHANCES ARE HE/SHE WILL DIE.I CANT RIDE MY NEW MOTERCYCLE AS A RESULT OF THE FOUNDRY THAT CASTED THIS PRODUCT LACK OF CARE, OR SUZUKI ENGINEERS FAILED TO TEST THIS PART PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. THIS SUZUKI MAKES 165 HP AND 95 FT/LBS OF TQ. IT CAN GO 194 MPH STOCK, IT IS SUZUKIS FASTEST MOTERCYCLE EVER MADE AND THE WORLDS FASTEST PRODUCTION VEHICAL, WHEN THIS HUB FAILS RIDERS WILL DIE.....................IF THIS WERE A PART ON AN AIRPLANE, IT WOULD BE GROUNDED, THIS MOTERCYCLE SHOULD BE GROUNDED .........A NATIONWIDE RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED A.S.A.P. OR PEOPLE WILL DIE..............................

Across model years
Worst on record: 2000Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
