2007 SUZUKI SV1000S Engine Problems

I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE AT A CRUISING SPEED OF 45 MPH. MY MOTORCYCLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUEL RELATED SO I PUSHED MY BIKE 1/4 MILE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND FILLED UP. THE BIKE DID NOT START, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS BATTERY RELATED. I HAD TO GET MY PICKUP, THEN TRAILER THE BIKE HOME. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STATOR RELATED(RESISTANCE CHECK)! I THEN HAD TO TAKE THE CRANKCASE COVER OFF AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND THAT ALL SIX MAGNETS ON THE FLYWHEEL HAD COME OFF AND SHATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CRANKCASE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN SUZUKI THAT THEY WOULD LET THESE CONTINUING CLAIMS GO UNNOTICED WHEN LIVES COULD BE AT RISK! I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THOSE SHARDS WOULD HAVE AFFECTED THE ENGINE, CAUSING IT...

THE MOTORCYCLE HAD SYMPTOMS OF A BAD BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND DIED WHILE 2 HOURS FROM THE HOUSE. I BEGAN CHECKING THE CHARGING SYSTEM AND NOTICE 0VDC GENERATOR OUTPUT. I INSPECTED THE PART AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL MAGNETS WERE CRACKED, ONE SLIDING OVER ANOTHER AND BEING FILED DOWN BY THE STATOR. THIS HAS ALSO LEFT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEBRIS IN THE OIL POSSIBLY CAUSING ROD AND MAIN BEARING WEAR, TIMING CHAIN WEAR, CAMSHAFT WEAR, AND OIL PUMP DAMAGE. THE BIKE IS NOT RIDDEN HARD, RARELY SEEING OVER 6,500-7,000 RPM. *TR

THE IGNITION ROTOR HAS A SERIES OF MAGNETS GLUED TO IT BUT THAT GLUE FAILED CAUSING THE MAGNETS TO COME LOOSE AND BREAK APART IN THE ENGINE CAUSE FRAGMENTS TO GO ALL OVER INSIDE THE ENGINE. WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE SUZUKI FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR
