THE VEHICLE I AM REPORTING IS A 2009 SUZUKI BURGMAN 650 SCOOTER. IT IS THE LARGEST SCOOTER SOLD IN THE COUNTRY AND IS OFTEN USED AS A TOURING BIKE. THE BIKE HAS 8500 MILES SO IT IS FAIRLY NEW. ON SATURDAY, APRIL 2ND, 2011, I WAS RIDING ON A SECLUDED ROAD, EXCEPT FOR TRAFFIC, FROM GALVESTON TEXAS TO FREEPORT TEXAS. I WAS ABOUT 80 MILES FROM HOME. IT'S A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AND DRAINAGE DITCH ON EACH SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, I STARTED TO FEEL A LOSS OF POWER, THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MISS OUT AND WITHOUT ANY OTHER NOTICE, THE ENGINE DIED. THERE IS NO CLUTCH ON A SCOOTER SO THE BIKE STARTS TO STOP FAIRLY QUICK, AND WITH NO WHERE TO GO TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD EXCEPT THE DITCH. TRAFFIC CAME UP BEHIND ME QUICKLY. IN SHORT NOTICE I REALIZED THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER IN THE BIKE. AFTER GETTING THE BIKE HOME AND TO THE SUZUKI DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE RECTIFIER HAD MALFUNCTIONED, AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS BIKE AS THERE WAS ON THE SUZUKI BURGMAN 400 SCOOTERS

THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THE PART # 92161-10G00-Y06, LID, MAINT, GRAY, IS SUCH THAT THE PART IS OF IN ADEQUATE THICKNESS AND HAS INADEQUATE FASTENER TENSION. IF THE THIN TAB AT THE RIGHT EDGE IS BROKEN THEN THE LID FOR THE FUSE AREA WILL FLY OFF THE BIKE AT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR. IT DID AND STRUCK ME IN THE SHOULDER AS IT PASSED BY. THERE IS THE DEFINITE POSSIBILITY OF IT STRIKING THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER IN THE FACE IF WIND CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY ON A NUMBER OF LEVELS AND SHOULD BE EXAMINED BY THE DESIGN TEAM. THEY RELIED ON A SMALL THIN PLASTIC TAB TO TRAP THE COVER BEHIND THE DOOR TO THE GLOVE BOX. THERE IS NO PLASTIC AIR DAM / COVER ON THE BACK OF THE FUSE BOX AREA AND THE AIR PRESSURE DEVELOPED BEHIND THIS LID IS TOO HIGH FOR THE LID TO WITHSTAND IF THIS TAB BREAKS OFF. THE DEALER PARTS COUNTER EMPLOYEE WAS AWARE OF THE LOSS OF THIS COVER BY OTHER OWNERS. *TR
