Recalls
82/100
Critical Deferred Risk
Critical deferred failure risk — 4 safety-critical or high-cost components are past their service interval. Without immediate attention, repair costs will compound significantly.
No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~240,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
EST. OVERDUECriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 10 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Timing Chain Tensioner immediately — already past the 120,000 mi / 10 yr interval
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
EST. OVERDUECriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Water Pump immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
EST. OVERDUEModerateSpark Plugs (iridium/platinum)
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Spark Plugs (iridium/platinum) immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
EST. OVERDUEModerateFuel Injectors
Service interval: 10 yr · Vehicle age: 20 yr · Past due by age
Service Fuel Injectors immediately — already past the 120,000 mi / 10 yr interval
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

SERVICE BRAKES

SummarySuzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.
Read full details...
ConsequenceAs a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

THIS HAS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH RECTIFIER AND STATORS MORE THEN BRAKES AND TIRES I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WITH THE STATOR ISSUE BUT THE WAY THE RECTIFIER IS MOUNTED IT'S IN BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE WHERE IT GETS HOT THAT NEEDS REMOUNTED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME AWAY FROM THE HEAT PLUS THE BIKE IS COMPLETELY STOCK SO I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS

ODI #11089625POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI GSX-R750. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH DOWN A MOUNTAINSIDE, THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE DID NOT MOVE, THE SPEED DECREASED TO ZERO, AND THE MOTORCYCLE SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD THE MOTORCYCLE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ODI #10278609ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

GENTLEMEN I OWN A 2006 SUZUKI GSXR 750 SPORT BIKE AND TO PUT IT LIGHTLY, I AM SCARED TO RIDE IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BIKE WHILE RIDING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED AT AROUND 4000-6000 RPM'S, WITH JUST A MINUTE CHANGE IN ACCELERATION THE BIKE ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS A GREAT PROBLEM WHICH CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO FIX. THE PROBLEM IS MORE EVIDENT AT AN ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 195-210F. I ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE AND ATTEMPT TO FIND A SOLUTION FROM WHICH WE ALL CAN BENEFIT. THANK YOU. *TR

ODI #10277420ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

AT LOW RPM'S OR OPENING THROTTLE FROM STOP, THE THROTTLE ABRUPTLY ENGAGES AND JERKS ME FORWARD IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. THIS COULD BE SERIOUS IF I WERE TO LOOSE CONTROL OR TAKE MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD OR VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

ODI #10276007FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

MY GAS TANK ON A 2006 GSXR 750 RUSTED OUT IN UNDER 3 YEARS. GAS WAS POURING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK WHERE 3 HOLES WERE SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED. APPARENTLY, RUSTED OUT GAS TANK IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ON A 3 YEAR OLD BIKE. IF THE GAS TANK CAN'T HANDLE THE REGULAR WATER CONTENT OF THE GAS THAT IS POURED INTO IT, IT IS AN UNSAFE TANK. *TR

ODI #10241976ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I PURCHASED A 2006 GSX-R750 IN APRIL 2008 WITH 3000 MILES ON IT. THE FI LIGHT AND DISPLAY GO ON AND STAY ON, WITH NO CODE BEING LODGED WITH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. I HAVE HAD IT CLEARED TWICE AND THE FAULT RECURS. THE BIKE GETS POOR GAS MILEAGE, HAS POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE AND OCCASIONALLY STUMBLES ON DECELERATION OR AT LOW REVS WHEN ENGINE TEMP IS HIGH. *TR

ODI #10234365ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 SUZUKI GIXXER GSX-R750. WHILE RIDING 35 MPH, ANTIFREEZE SPONTANEOUSLY SPRAYED ONTO THE CONTACT'S LEG. UPON INSPECTION, HE NOTICED THAT THE COOLING FAN FAILED IN THE RADIATOR UNIT, WHICH CAUSED ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT. THE FAILURE NEARLY BURNED HIS BODY PARTS. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 5,000.

1.) AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO FAILURE...YET. 2.) MY 2006 SUZUKI GSXR 750 AND 2006 SUZUKI GSXR 600 MOTORCYCLES HAVE SEVERE ON/OFF THROTTLE RESPONSE. 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. 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

ODI #10210042FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

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

ODI #10208763FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 SUZUKI GSXR750. THE VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTION. PERIODICALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARM AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A TIME. OBVIOUSLY IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A MOTORCYCLE TO STALL AT ANY SPEED. I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY SUZUKI. THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I PROFESS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FACTORY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
