| I was driving down interstate at night and my motorcycle lost all power, there was no warning or anything just died. if there would of been another vehicle behind me then i could of easily been in a serious accident. i was able to get over to the side of the road and i could smell something hot in the front of the bike. i had to get it towed home. i started researching if anyone else had this issue and found that a lot of people have had the same issue. it is the rectifier / regulator twards the front of the bike, it gets hot and burns up. this also causes the 30 amp fuse to blow for the the wiring for the battery. i see there has been recalls for the 2008-2011 model years but i think there should be a recall for the 2006 and 2007 years as well, because many people are having the same problems with these years also. | |||

| 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 | |||
