2006 SUZUKI GSX-R600 Complaints

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. ALTHOUGH IS CAN BE FELT IN ANY GEAR, 2ND AND 3RD GEAR SEEMS TO BE THE MOST PRONOUNCED. THIS CONDITION IS VERY UNSETTLING FOR THE RIDER AND THE BIKE WHILE TRAVELING AROUND A CURVE. *TR

2006 GSXR600 HAS FAULT IN ECU/EFI THAT CAUSE ERRATIC THROTTLE RESPONSE AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE HOT. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WITH A COLD START. THE PROBLEM PREVENTS THE RIDER FROM MAINTAINING A STEADY RATE OF SPEED IN NORMAL TRAFFIC SITUATIONS AND DESTABILIZE THE CHASIS WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING TURNS. A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS ARE REPORTING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MODEL ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEB BASED FORUMS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. *TR

SUDDEN ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY VERY UNSTABLE LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT 4,000-6,000 RPM AND SEEMS EVEN WORSE AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT!!! *TR

MY 2006 SUZUKI GSXR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN GIVING THROTTLE AFTER A SLOW TURN THE BIKE SEEMS TO ALMOST LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER THEN KICKS BACK IN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TURNS CAUSING YOU TO FALL. *TR

THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT INVOLVES THROTTLE RESPONSE WITH THIS MOTORCYCLE. WHILE RIDING, THE THROTTLE WILL GO TO FULL GAS OR COMPLETELY CUT OFF WITH THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF THROTTLE CHANGE. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE WITH A "NEUTRAL" THROTTLE, BECAUSE THE SMALLEST DIFFERENCE CAUSES A MAJOR IMPACT. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY MOTORCYCLE FOR AWHILE NOW AND THINK THIS IS AN ISSUES THEY NEED TO BECOME MORE AWARE ABOUT. THE ACCELERATION IS VERY TOUCHY AND UNCONTROLLABLE. WHILE IN A TURN IT COULD PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS AND LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. *TR

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

I RIDE A K6 SUZUKI GSXR 600. MY BIKE WILL OCCASIONALLY CUT OUT AS IF I WERE TO KEEP TAPPING MY KILLSWITCH ON. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE KICKSTAND KILLSWITCH. IT WAS LOOSE SO I FIXED IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. NOW IM WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE A FAULTY S.E.T. VALVE OR LEMON ECU. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MORE ACCIDENTS AND/OR DEATHS. THIS PROBLEM HAS TO BE FIXED. *TR

WHEN RIDING THIS BIKE, TRYING TO MAINTAIN STEADY SPEED IS DIFFICULT. THE ENGINE RPM IS VERY JERKY AND ABRUPT. I JUST HOLD THE THROTTLE STEADY AND THE BIKE JERKS AND THEN ABRUPTLY COMES BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT, BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN CORNERS ESPECIALLY, IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MID CORNER AND IT UPSETS THE BIKE HANDLING VERY BADLY. IT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IN A CORNER. WHEN IT HAS THESE PROBLEMS, IT IS UNRIDABLE AND SCARY. WHEN YOU RIDE IT, IT FEELS LIKE YOU HIT THE KILL SWITCH OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY. THAT IS HOW BAD IT IS TO RIDE. I HAVE TAKEN BIKE TO NUMEROUS SUZUKI DEALERS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM YET. *TR
