NHTSA recall 18V064000

What's wrong: Suzuki motor of america, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain 2017-2018 gsx-r1000, gsx-r1000a, gsx-r1000ra, and gsx-r1000rza motorcycles. When upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will exist and may cause very high engine rpm. If the rider then shifts into second gear without disengaging the clutch, the motorcycleâ’s chain may stretch or break.

Why it matters: If the drive chain breaks, the motorcycle will lose power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine control module (ECM), and inspect and replace the drive chain and sprockets, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 25, 2018.
