2022 SUZUKI GSX1300R — Complaint #1948465
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND filed December 6, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1948465 (ODI reference 11558850) concerns a 2022 SUZUKI GSX1300R and was filed on December 6, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 20, 2023. The vehicle had 4,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUZUKI GSX1300R cohort independently describe similar structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 SUZUKI GSX1300R shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Suzuki GSX 1300RR motorcycle. The contact stated as he parked the vehicle and deployed the kick stand into the downward park (P) position, when he was dismounting the vehicle, and as he was swinging his right leg over the saddle, the kick stand independently returned into the up position. The up position is where the kick stand rests when the vehicle is being driven. The vehicle fell on its left side trapping the contacts left leg. The contact was pinned under the vehicle, with the help of a passerby the vehicle was set back on its wheels and off of his leg. The contact was shaken but unhurt. The contact stated that the kick stand failure where it independently returns into the up or position had occurred one other time. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to have the damage to the left side of the vehicle repaired and asked about the kick stand failure and was advised by the dealer that it was not a failure and that the kick stand was functioning normally.
