“Throttle response on my 2006 grxr 600 has been terrible since the day I bought the bike. It is near impossible to have throttle control at slow cornering speeds. Suzuki has offered no assistance with this bike since the day I bought it. This condition will cause an accident it is only a matter or time.”
NHTSA complaint #10286548, filed 2009-10, 500 miles“I purchased it new and it now has over 6000 miles. The transition from off throttle to slightly on throttle or the other way around is extremely jerky. It is very annoying. I have had this problem for most of the time that I have owned the bike. I am a very experienced rider, street and track, (10 years and 160,000 miles) and have owned several other bikes, but on this bike, there is nothing I can do with my throttle hand to transition smoothly from off throttle to slightly on throttle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10232550, filed 2008-06, 500 miles“In the month of july I began to notice a very touchy throttle at all ranges of RPM's. It has since continued throughout the last several months as well. I would shift into a higher gear to get try to get rid of the problem if I was just cruising for a moment but it would still jerk hard in, and even out of small throttle adjustments. Very annoying and even painful with a passenger riding. I ride with several bikes of the same model and so far 100% of them have had the very same problem so I know it's not just mine. …”
NHTSA complaint #10208794, filed 2007-11, 4,000 miles“When riding this bike, trying to maintain steady speed is difficult. The engine RPM is very jerky and abrupt. I just hold the throttle steady and the bike jerks and then abruptly comes back on. This has happened a lot, but it is intermittent. It is very dangerous in corners especially, it has happened to me in mid corner and it upsets the bike handling very badly. It can lead to an accident, especially in a corner. When it has these problems, it is unridable and scary. When you ride it, it feels like you hit the kill switch off and on repeatedly. That is how bad it is to ride. …”
NHTSA complaint #10209692, filed 2007-11, 1,214 miles“2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 there is a throttle unpredictability which occurs during deceleration/acceleration(it jerks), and it upsets the suspension during turns which is a safety matter that Suzuki needed to fixed before somebody gets injured or even cause death. There is a lot of complaints here, but Suzuki seems to ignore it.”
