Consumer Description
On at least 20 separate occasions between July, 2021 and September, 2021, cruise control has disengaged without myself providing the input necessary to disengage cruise control. In other words, cruise control randomly disengaged by itself, and this problem has occurred regardless of temperature, road surface conditions, or road grade. The frequency of the problem appears random, as there is no pattern involving the disengagement of cruise control. Additionally, it's noteworthy to mention that the sudden and unexpected negative acceleration of the motorcycle is very dangerous, particularly when traveling at highway speeds. This incident was reported to Suzuki in August, 2021. It's important to note that other riders have reported this known issue to Suzuki, but Suzuki has not initiated a recall.
