NHTSA Complaint #10979172 — 2011 SUZUKI GSX-1250FA

MOTORCYCLE SINCE NEW STALLS UPON SHIFTING INTO FOURTH GEAR AND LETTING THE CLUTCH OUT TO APPLY ENGINE POWERWHILE RIDING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD . HAPPENS WHEN AIR TEMP IS 80+DEGREES OUT AND THE ENGINE HAS RECENTLY BEEN STARTED (<3MINS). IT USED TO NOT BE A PROBLEM AS ON HOT DAYS LEAVING WORK IT WOULD STALL EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE WHILE DRIVING OFF THE MILITARY BASE. HAVING SINCE MOVED TO FL IT IS STALLING REGULARLY ON A BUSY 45MPH FOUR LANE ROAD. IT USUALLY TAKES 10-15 SEC TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN AS IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHILE STILL TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT ON THE FORUMS AND SUZUKI KNOWS ABOUT BUT WILL NOT FIX. BIKE ONLY HAS 7K MILES ON IT. MORE DETAIL: BIKE STARTS AND RIDES FINE UNTIL THE RIDER SHIFTS INTO FOURTH THEN THE MOTOR STRUGGLES TO FIND POWER (3500RPM) AND WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN THE MOTOR STALLS. IT DOES NOT START RIGHT AWAY USING THE STARTER LEAVIGN THE RIDER COASTING DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL THE BIKE STARTS AGAIN AFTER USUALLY STALLING AGAIN RIGHT AWAY.
