Consumer Description

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
