Reported Jan 19, 2016 · 68,344 vehicles affected · Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.

Problem: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 AN400, AN400A, DL1000, GSX1300R, 2008-2009 GSF1250S and GSF1250SA, 2008 GSX1300BK and GSX1300BKA, 2008-2010 GSX650F, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, VLR1800, VLR1800T, and 2009-2010 SFV650 and VZ1500 motorcycles. Due to a problem with the circuit board for the regulator/rectifier power module, the motorcycle may not sufficiently charge the battery and the motorcycle may stall.

Risk: If the engine stalls while riding, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the regulator/rectifier, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 4, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-800-444-5077. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A56 to 2A64.

Electrical System · at 6,800 miles · reported Jul 12, 2016

Got my second safety recall notice in the mail and went to the suzuki dealer today on 7-12-16 and was told that it would be 2 months or so before they can preform the recall. When I got the first notice it was still winter time so did not go to the dealer for it. What happens if I drive the scooter ? Will it catch on fire ? Questions dealer could not answer. I ask why recall will take so long and dealer told me "you are not my only customer" very disappointed on how they are handling this.

Electrical System · at 35 miles · reported Dec 18, 2013

Since brand new, the speedometer has a 8-10% error at highway speed verified by GPS. Suzuki claims this is normal and within their standards. The odometer does read the correct mileage, so this is a defect that they engineered into the bike, and refuse to acknowledge and repair. I have found out that this problem is common to all 400 and 650 suzuki bergmans. Our state of wisconsin even has a law that prohibits defective speedometers so suzuki is in violation of state of wisconsin statute.
