2007 SUZUKI GSX-R600 Complaints

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

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

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

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 KILLED. THE FACTORY SETTING OF THIS SENSOR SHOULD BE SET AT 1.125V MANY PEOPLE HAVE FOUND THE SETTING OF THEIR BIKE TO BE 1.339V OR EVEN WORSE. THIS SETTING EVEN BEING OFF BY A HUNDREDTH OF A VOLT CAN BE SERIOUS AND CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE OF THE BIKE'S THROTTLE CONTROL, THUS SERIOUSLY AFFECTING ONE'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR BIKES PATH. I HOPE THIS HELPS AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE THIS ADDRESSED. I HAVE CONSIDERED SELLING MY BIKE, BUT COULD NOT MORALLY ENDANGER OTHERS. *TR
