2006 Suzuki Gsxr600 Problems

THROTTLE RESPONSE ON MY 2006 GRXR 600 HAS BEEN TERRIBLE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE BIKE. IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE THROTTLE CONTROL AT SLOW CORNERING SPEEDS. SUZUKI HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BIKE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OR TIME. *TR

2006 SUZUKI GSX-R600 THERE IS A THROTTLE UNPREDICTABILITY WHICH OCCURS DURING DECELERATION/ACCELERATION(IT JERKS), AND IT UPSETS THE SUSPENSION DURING TURNS WHICH IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT SUZUKI NEEDED TO FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS INJURED OR EVEN CAUSE DEATH. THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HERE, BUT SUZUKI SEEMS TO IGNORE IT. *TR

RIDING HOME AFTER WORK ON BACK HIGHWAY AND LOST ALL POWER TO BIKE. REAR TIRE LOCKED UP A BIT, SO HAD TO PULL CLUTCH AND CUT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO PARK ON THE SHOULDER. POWER LOSS WAS INSTANT AND IF CARS WERE BEHIND ME, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. POWER LOSS WAS COMPLETE, SO I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR BLINKERS. THE MASTER FUSE BLEW DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE REGULATOR RECTIFIER. THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE POSSIBLY 2007 MAY HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH USES THE SAME REGULATOR. $382 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS FAIRLY COMMON AND JUST AS DANGEROUS AS MOST THE RECALLS I'VE SEEN LATELY FOR GM, ETC. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE ON A 2 LANE ROAD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE JUST TURNED OFF. WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR ANYTHING. I WAS REAL CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME WHEN MY BIKE SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE HITTING ME. AS READING ONLINE THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL BIKE AND YEAR. THIS ISSUE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, THAT WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THE STATOR REGULATOR AND RECTIFIER WAS GONE BAD. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE SEEM MANY CASES LIKE THIS AND SUZUKI SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE A LIFE IS TAKEN. I CALLED TO SPEAK WITH A SUZUKI AGENT AND ALL THEY STATED WAS THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SUZUKI WILL TAKE CARE OF AND THAT THIS IS A NUMBER 1 SELLING BIKE AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. *TR

MY PROBLEM CONSISTS OF A JERKISH FEELING FROM DE-ACCELERATE TO ACCELERATION. I WAS RIDING HOME FROM LATE DINNER WITH SOME FRIENDS AROUND MIDNIGHT, WAS COMING TO A CORNER WHERE I NOTICED WATER FROM NEAR SPRINKLERS, I THEN LET OFF MY GAS TO SLOW DOWN TO COME INTO THE TURN, AS I STARTED TO GIVE IT GAS AGAIN, IT SHARPLY SPED UP CAUSING ME TO LOW SIDE FROM THE CORNER. I WAS GOING NO MORE THEN 15-20MPH, AS I WAS COMING OUT FROM THE CORNER APPROX. 30MPH. I'VE HAD A FEW OTHER SUZUKI BIKES, OLDER YEARS, NEVER HAD THIS SORT OF PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN RIDING FOR OVER 5-9YEARS. *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. THIS CAUSES AN UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE AT HIGH SPEEDS. 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

BROKEN FRAME-2006 SUZUKI GXSR 600-DROVE OFF ROADWAY ONTO TO SOFT DIRT. CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY SON AND DEATH. RECALL JANUARY 2009 ON 2006-2007 SUZUKI MOTORCYCLE FRAMES DUE TO WELDS FAILING. *TR

I HAVE A SUZUKI GSXR 600 MOTORCYCLE AND WHEN I GIVE THROTTLE INPUTS, USUALLY WHEN MY BIKE HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND RIDDEN, IT GETS VERY JERKY AND GIVES TOO MUCH GAS TOO SUDDENLY. THEN WHEN I EASE OFF THE THROTTLE IT COMPLETELY CUT OFF. THIS MAKES OUT FOR A VERY "JERKY" RIDE AND MAKING IT DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLE TO CRASH DUE TO LACK OF CONTROL. MANY PEOPLE CALL THIS THE "HERKY JERKY" AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY PEOPLE I KNOW WITH THE SAME BIKE. *TR

THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN LABLED 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. THEN 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) OFTEN RESULTING IN PHYSICAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE. 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. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT SUZUKI ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THE REFUSE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH NUMEROUS SOURCES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO RESOLVE TEMPORARY FIXES AND CURES TO ELIMINATE FUTURE INJURY. I / WE ARE HOPING THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WILL BE ABLE TO SOLICIT A RESPONSE FROM SUZUKI, SEEING AS THOUGH THEY ARE IGNORING US.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SOONER THAN NOW. I ALMOST LOST MY HUSBAND DUE TO A CRASH CAUSED FROM THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONING. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT SOMEONE WE KNEW WAS ALSO PRESENT AND CALLED ME. IF NOT MY HUSBAND PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. HE OBTAINED MULTIPLE FRACTURES, ROAD RASH FROM HEAD TO TOE, CHUNKS OF HIS SKIN WERE MISSING AND CRACKED HIS HEAD OPEN. THE MOTORCYCLE ITSELF WAS TOTALLED AND IN A NUMBER OF PIECES. MY HUSBAND SPENT DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND MANY MORE AT HOME RECOVERING. BUT IT ENDED UP CAUSING HIM HIS JOB AND TODAY STILL HAS SOME ISSUES MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

WAS DRIVING ON ROADWAY. A CAR PULLED OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AS BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. I SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. *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
