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 and remedy
Risk
As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

Takata recall I keep going through rectifiers, stators, fuses, fuel pumps, wiring, battery, starter and even a a used ecu plus a few other things all coming back to the rectifier missing everything up a few times a year and now again I'm gonna have to send my bike back out and pay for everything to get done again I'm kinda mad that I bought it instead of that 2000 hayabusa like I was going to.

I was going 70 down the highway when my bike shut off. looked at the 30amp fuse under the seat and it was blown. replaced it with the spare and it immediately blew. trailered my bike back to my house and found the regulartor/rectifier sparking. this IS a huge issue and should be a recall. bike was driven normally with no racing/speeds over 80.

I was at a stoplight when the vehicle next to me told me that my bike was on fire. I was unaware prior to the driver of the vehicle next to me telling me. I could not directly see the flame while upright on the bike, but I was able to lean over to my left side to see a flame underneath the gas…
I was at a stoplight when the vehicle next to me told me that my bike was on fire. I was unaware prior to the driver of the vehicle next to me telling me. I could not directly see the flame while upright on the bike, but I was able to lean over to my left side to see a flame underneath the gas tank. I pulled over immediately but unfortunately could not put the flame out as it was not reachable by the means that I had at the time. the flame was coming from the left side of the bike directly under the gas tank. it was more on the interior than on the exterior so I could not reach the flame to put it out so I called the fire department to put the fire out. by the time they arrived the bike was essentially totaled but they were able to put the fire out.

I have owned the bike for less than a year now and 3 times the regulator has fried in the bike. I have a new stator and battery in the bike all charging fine. Luckily all the times when it has stopped working I was stopped. But once I was 21ST a busy intersection and thankfully a driver of a car…
I have owned the bike for less than a year now and 3 times the regulator has fried in the bike. I have a new stator and battery in the bike all charging fine. Luckily all the times when it has stopped working I was stopped. But once I was 21ST a busy intersection and thankfully a driver of a car let me walk it to the side walk. In afraid this IS going to happen while I'm going down the interstate and it's going cause an accident or worse...take my life.

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. this could be from a rusting throttle control valve that IS not opening correctly. The bike was stored indoors and rarely saw rain, should not be rusting. *Tr

Motorcycle cut off, and lost power while driving. I was not able to start the motorcycle again after that. There IS a recall on the voltage regulator for the same year (2007) but for the gsxr 1000. *tr

2007 suzuki gsxr750 problem began when bike was new from the showroom and continues to the present the problem IS a rapid and abrupt throttle closing, and IS often encountered when the motorcycle IS at a cruising speed and the throttle IS being maintained (the bike IS just maintaining speed, not accelerating). Whenever the throttle IS modulated to lessen the speed, the bike reacts as if the rider had just closed the throttle completely and the bike begins to engine brake, hard. the failure, the abrupt closing of the throttle despite minute adjustments to the controls, occurs often, but it will happen always or not at all and seemingly without reasoning as the bike's ecu shows no errors or dealer codes and all systems related to the function of the throttle have been checked and are in spec. as for the frequency, the bike will experience the failure 100% of the time the situation IS encountered if the bike has done it at all on that ride. If you start the bike and the problem does not occur, it will not occur again atleast until the bike IS stopped, shut down, let sit, and restarted. However at the same time, if the problem IS occurring, it will continue occurring atleast until the bike IS shut off, etc and restarted. when traveling in a straight line, the problem IS more annoying than anything else, but if the motorcycle IS engaged in a long medium/high speed sweeping turn, and the rider encounters the problem, the results could be rather catastrophic as a sudden decrease in speed would cause a loss in centrifugal forces which keep the motorcycle balanced throughout the turn. this problem could very well lead to the severe injury/death of a rider even when utilizing the motorcycle within standard operating procedure. *Tr

I was coming to a stop at a t intersection when my motorcycle fell. I got back up to try and move it but the motorcycle would not move. I fell on my left side but found out that the right side of my rotor inner mounting plate was bent. the approx speed I was going was 15 mph. I sent my motorcycle into the shop the next day and contacted suzuki. they sent me a packet and after I filled it out sent it back in. since then I got a voicemail from their rep saying "i pushed on the brakes too hard". I have been trying to call back for a couple of weeks now leaving voice messages and haven't gotten a call back from yet. *tr

Bike unexpectedly accelerates. no control. happen at low speed after riding rough and bucking and coming out of a turn. it accelerated so fast it threw me off, took off and laid on its side red lining. no control and really scary. Throttle did not responded. this happened at a low rpm. don't know if I trust the bike to even get back on (wont start now). *tr

I have cut and pasted the complaint of a fellow forum member since our problems are the same. please help us resolve this issue. 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
- Fuel system, gasoline
"Herky-jerky" IS when fuel shuts off at 1-5% throttle, not 0%. Then it does not come back on until 5%+ throttle. It IS impossible to hold a steady throttle between 1-5% throttle no matter what gear or what speed. *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 (4,000-7,000 rpm) and seems most prevalent at high engine temperatures 200+ and especially when the vehicle IS turned on and started while at higher temperatures. *tr

2007 suzuki gsxr-750 motorcycle. Throttle unresponsive from 5% - 20%. Impossible to hold steady throttle. When the gas does come on it not gradual, but jumps instantly to 20% throttle position...potentially causing rider to loose control of vehicle and crash. *tr
