I WAS GOING 70 DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BIKE SHUT OFF. LOOKED AT THE 30AMP FUSE UNDER THE SEAT AND IT WAS BLOWN. REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE AND IT IMMEDIATELY BLEW. TRAILERED MY BIKE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND FOUND THE REGULARTOR/RECTIFIER SPARKING. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. BIKE WAS DRIVEN NORMALLY WITH NO RACING/SPEEDS OVER 80.

I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TOLD ME THAT MY BIKE WAS ON FIRE. I WAS UNAWARE PRIOR TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TELLING ME. I COULD NOT DIRECTLY SEE THE FLAME WHILE UPRIGHT ON THE BIKE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO LEAN OVER TO MY LEFT SIDE TO SEE A FLAME UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY BUT UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT PUT THE FLAME OUT AS IT WAS NOT REACHABLE BY THE MEANS THAT I HAD AT THE TIME. THE FLAME WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE DIRECTLY UNDER THE GAS TANK. IT WAS MORE ON THE INTERIOR THAN ON THE EXTERIOR SO I COULD NOT REACH THE FLAME TO PUT IT OUT SO I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE BIKE WAS ESSENTIALLY TOTALED BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT.

Mileage: 9,000

I HAVE OWNED THE BIKE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR NOW AND 3 TIMES THE REGULATOR HAS FRIED IN THE BIKE. I HAVE A NEW STATOR AND BATTERY IN THE BIKE ALL CHARGING FINE. LUCKILY ALL THE TIMES WHEN IT HAS STOPPED WORKING I WAS STOPPED. BUT ONCE I WAS 21ST A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFULLY A DRIVER OF A CAR LET ME WALK IT TO THE SIDE WALK. IN AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT'S GOING CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE...TAKE MY LIFE.

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZING THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH.

THIS COULD BE FROM A RUSTING THROTTLE CONTROL VALVE THAT IS NOT OPENING CORRECTLY. THE BIKE WAS STORED INDOORS AND RARELY SAW RAIN, SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING. *TR

2007 SUZUKI GSXR750 PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN BIKE WAS NEW FROM THE SHOWROOM AND CONTINUES TO THE PRESENT THE PROBLEM IS A RAPID AND ABRUPT THROTTLE CLOSING, AND IS OFTEN ENCOUNTERED WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE IS AT A CRUISING SPEED AND THE THROTTLE IS BEING MAINTAINED (THE BIKE IS JUST MAINTAINING SPEED, NOT ACCELERATING). WHENEVER THE THROTTLE IS MODULATED TO LESSEN THE SPEED, THE BIKE REACTS AS IF THE RIDER HAD JUST CLOSED THE THROTTLE COMPLETELY AND THE BIKE BEGINS TO ENGINE BRAKE, HARD. THE FAILURE, THE ABRUPT CLOSING OF THE THROTTLE DESPITE MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONTROLS, OCCURS OFTEN, BUT IT WILL HAPPEN ALWAYS OR NOT AT ALL AND SEEMINGLY WITHOUT REASONING AS THE BIKE'S ECU SHOWS NO ERRORS OR DEALER CODES AND ALL SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE FUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE IN SPEC.
