Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle is a nos 2014 leftover purchased in november 2016. Vehicle now has 2,500 miles on it and has intermittently stalled upon takeoff in 1st gear at least 7 times. Each time the motorcycle engine is warm. Upon engaging 1st gear from a stop, when the clutch is released and throttle applied, the motorcycle will cough and stall. This happens at critical transition times; at an intersection, in stop-and-go traffic and once in a crowded parking lot causing me to drop the bike on its side. I called Suzuki and filed a case/complaint and the vehicle is now at a dealership. …”
