Defect Summary	Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 motorcycles manufactured from july 2007 through september 2009, equipped with regulator/rectifier assemblies, suzuki part numbers 32800-41f11, 32800-15h10, 32800-05h11, 32800-41g10, 32800-15h00, 32800-18h00, 32800-05g10, 32800-10g10, 32800-05h20, or 32800-06g01. some regulator/rectifier assemblies were produced with insufficient adhesion between the power module (circuit board) and the rectifier case that contains a heat sink to dissipate heat. due to insufficient adhesion, heat generated on the power module circuit board can cause the circuit board to deform, and lift of the case.
Consequence Summary	This condition causes excessive heat on the circuit board and uncontrolled electric current output, which can result in insufficient charging current being provided to the motorcycle battery. this can cause discharge of the battery and can lead to engine stalling and/or a no-start condition. engine stalling while riding can increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary	Suzuki will notify owners and suzuki distributors will replace the regulator/rectifier with an improved part free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during march 2011. owners may contact suzuki at 1-714-572-1490.
Notes	Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

	Riding my '08 suzuki gsxr-600 per normal operation, i notice that it starts to lose power. this is a vehicle that has just over 1000 miles (barely past break-in) and is less than 6 mos old. when i try to roll on more throttle, there is 0 response from the machine. it then arbitrarily 'kicks in' which gives the same sort of response as popping the clutch. this happens only after the vehicle is warmed up to normal operating temps. once it happens, it continues to happen, somewhat intermittently but often. this behavior has caused me to almost wreck in a curve more than once. general user consensus at www.gixxer.com (foremost online bulletin board for suzuki gsxr owners and riders) is that it is the throttle position sensor that is defective. this is the same unit that is on the yamaha r series and that unit has been recalled by yamaha. *tr
