Consumer Description

A LOT OF 2000 SUZUKI GSX-R750 MOTORCYCLES ARE HAVING THE 2ND GEARS GO OUT OF THEM DUE TO A HOLLOW SHIFT SHAFT AND THE 2ND DRIVEN GEAR ENGAGEMENT DOGS. SUZUKI AMERICA WILL NOT ADMIT TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY REVISED THESE PART #'S FOR THE 2001 MODELS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE REVISED PART #'S ARE (SHIFT SHAFT/25510-35F01) & (2ND DRIVEN GEAR ENGAGEMENT DOGS/24321-35F01). I HAVE HAD A CASE OPEN WITH SUZUKI (CASE # 55970) FOR A LONG TIME NOW, AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. THIS FAILED RIGHT AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS UP. IF THIS WERE TO FAIL ON SOMEONE WHILE IN A TURN IT COULD CAUSE THEM TO WREAK RESULTING IN INJURIES OR DEATH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR A RECALL. I HAVE VIN #'S OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. PLEASE GET BACK WITH ME VIA EMAIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DT *TS
