Consumer Description

STARTED UP THE BIKE AND IT FELT KIND OF SLUGGISH. RODE ABOUT 10 MILES AND THE BIKE CUT OFF ON ME AND ALL I COULD SMELL WAS BURNING ELECTRONICS AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE RECTIFIER THAT WAS ON FIRE. I QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FROM THE BIKE AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME. I KNOW THERE IS RECALLS ON LATER MODEL SUZUKIS WITH THE RECTIFIER, BUT WHY NOT THE 06 TO 07S? I'M ASSUMING THAT SUZUKI USES THE SAME VOLTAGE REGULATOR REGARDLESS OF THE YEARS. MY MOTORCYCLE COULD HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
