SUZUKI Complaints

IT IS WIDLY KNOWN THAT SUZUKI HAS BEEN IGNORING THE FACT THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME WELDS ARE WEAK ON IT 99 AND 2000 HAYABUSA'S. IT NEEDS TO BE REALLED AND HAVE THE NEW SUBFRAME INSTALLED THAT THEY USED ON THE 2001 AND NEWER BIKES. SUZUKI HAS AGREED TO DO MINE UNDER A SILENT RECALL, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL DIE FROM THIS ACCIDENT IF IT BREAKS ON THEM.

THE REAR SUBFRAME (WHERE THE PASS SITS HAVE BEEN BREAKING AT THE WELD JOINTS ON THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME . THE UK HAS ALREADY MADE SUZUKI REPLACE THEM OVER THERE I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE MY WIFE RIDES ALOT WITH ME AND IF THIS SUBFRAME BREAKS OFF SHE GOES . ALSO THE 2001AND 2002 HAVE AN UPDATED STEEL SUBFRAME THANKS TIM RIVETTE

SUZUKI GREAT BRITAIN PROVIDES FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME WITH A STEEL VERSION. I THINK SUZUKI USA SHOLD DO THE SAME. *AK

AS I HAVE SAID MY SUBFRAME HAS NOT FAILED YET BUT OTHERS HAVE, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, SUZUKI IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS IN THE U.S.A. BUT THEY HAVE RECALLED AND REPLACED THEM IN THE U.K. WHY ONLY IN THE U.K. ? THANK YOU NLM

MY SUBFRAME HAS NOT YET FAILED, BUT ON THE SUZUKI HAYABUSA .ORG WEBSITE WE (3000 MEMBERS) HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FAILURES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY, CAUSING THE SEAT AND RIDER TO CONTACT THE REAR WHEEL AND CRASH. SUZUKI MADE THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY IN 99 AND 2000 AND CHANGED TO STEEL FOR THE 2001 AND 2002 MODELS. THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE WELDS AND POROSITY OF THE ALUMINUM ARE FAULTY. ENGINEERING STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED IN GREAT BRITTAN AND CONFIRM THIS. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY AND OUR PASSENGERS SAFETY. NLM

CONSUMER HEARD A CREAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING, DURING INSPECTION OF VEHICLE THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE FRAME IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, ALL THE WELDS CAME APART. NLM

THE MOTORCYCLE JUMPED OUT OF 2ND GEAR ON MANY OCCASIONS. THIS CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURY TO RIDER AND PASSENGER.

WHILE TRAVELING ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED INTO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE'S LANE AND HIT IT. STEERING WHEEL HAD PLAYED INTO WHEEL, ENABLING HIM TO STEER.*AK

VEHICLE PULLS TO LEFT AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND OVER ,THERE IS VIBRATION. DEALER ALIGNED VEHICLE TWICE, DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. TIRES ARE SHOWING EXCESSIVE WEAR.*AK

INTERESTED IN POSSIBLE RECALL CAMPIGN WITH SUZUKI; NO PERSONAL FAILURES, BUT A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS FAILURE OCCUR. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK
