NHTSA Complaint #10233281 — 2006 SUZUKI GSX-R600

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
