Consumer Description

FAULTY AND/OR TERRIBLE PLACEMENT OF THE RECTIFIER CAUSING MY BIKE TO OVERCHARGE THE BATTERY. I AM VERY LUCKY THE BATTERY DIDN'T CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE. I HAVE REPLACED THE STATOR, RECTIFIER, AND BATTERY BEFORE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS TIME WAS A LOT WORSE. WHY HAS SUZUKI NOT RECALLED THE 07'S?? AFTER GETTING OFF THE THE INTERSTATE, RIDING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, I NOTICED A STRONG SULFUR SMELL WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE BATTERY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY SUZUKI. THEY ARE VERY LUCKY SOMEONE HASN'T LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS.
