NHTSA recall 14V629000
Power Train · Suzuki Motor USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Suzuki motor of america, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 gsx-r750 and 2009-2014 gsx-r1000 motorcycles. If a gear is missed while upshifting, the strain applied to the drive chain after the next shift may cause the rear axle to move, damaging the left-side drive chain adjuster.
Why it matters: If the drive chain adjuster gets damaged, the drive chain may come off, removing power to the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left-side chain adjuster with an improved part. The recall began on October 17, 2014.
