SUZUKI Complaints

THROTTLE IS JERKY DURING LOW RPM'S SEEMS LIKE IT GASES ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. *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

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

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

MOTORCYCLE CANNOT MAINTAIN SMOOTH/CONSTANT SPEED SMOOTHLY. DID NOTICE THE PROBLEM IN SPRING OF 2006 BUT THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL RECENTLY HAD A CHANCE TO RIDE A DIFFERENT MOTORCYCLE AND ALSO AFTER SOME RESEARCHING. I ALSO RECENTLY PURCHASED ANOTHER SAME TYPE MOTORCYCLE (GSXR 600) AND PROBLEM IS VERY APPARENT ALSO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *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

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). *TR

GSXR 750 HAVING THROTTLE ISSUES AROUND 4,000RPM. POWER SHUTS OFF, THEN COMES BACK ON ABRUPTLY. FEELS LIKE BIKE IS STALLING, THEN START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING OR CRUISING AROUND TOWN WITH CARS BEHIND YOU WHILE YOU HAVE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. NO CAUSES FOUND AS TO WHY IT'S HAPPENING. SUZUKI DEALERSHIPS SHOULD RECALL THESE 2007 BIKES. THIS PROBLEM IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM SELLING MY BIKE IMMEDIATELY. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO RIDE IN THIS CONDITION WITH THROTTLE INSTABILITY. THIS HAPPENS IN EVERY GEAR AROUND 4,000RPM. DEALER CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND I AM DONE WASTING MONEY TAKING IT TO A SHOP. SUZUKI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI RENO. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN DRIVE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHE CHECKED THE MANUAL AND HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE RANGE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER PERFORMED THE REPAIR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RETRIEVED, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE RANGE SENSOR WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,800.
