“I purchased a 2006 gsx-r750 in april 2008 with 3000 miles on it. The fi light and display go on and stay on, with no code being lodged with the onboard computer. I have had it cleared twice and the fault recurs. The bike gets poor gas mileage, has poor throttle response and occasionally stumbles on deceleration or at low revs when engine temp is high.”
NHTSA complaint #10241976, filed 2008-09, 3,000 miles“At low RPM's or opening throttle from stop, the throttle abruptly engages and jerks me forward in an uncontrolled manner. This could be serious if I were to loose control or take my attention away from the road or vehicles in front of me.”
NHTSA complaint #10277420, filed 2009-07, 900 miles“Gentlemen I own a 2006 Suzuki gsxr 750 sport bike and to put it lightly, I am scared to ride it. The problem is that the bike while riding at an average speed at around 4000-6000 RPM's, with just a minute change in acceleration the bike accelerates and decelerates uncontrollably. This is a great problem which can lead to loss of control and potentially lead to an accident. I have taken the motorcycle to the dealers numerous times with no fix. The problem is more evident at an engine operating temperature of about 195-210f. …”
NHTSA complaint #10278609, filed 2009-07, 14,102 miles“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. The problem seems to occur at lower engine RPM's (4,000-6,000 RPM) and seems most prevalent at high engine temperatures (205+ degrees) and especially when the vehicle is turned on and started while at higher temperatures.”
NHTSA complaint #10209825, filed 2007-11, 2,800 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki gixxer gsx-r750. While riding 35 MPH, antifreeze spontaneously sprayed onto the contact's leg. Upon inspection, he noticed that the cooling fan failed in the radiator unit, which caused antifreeze to leak out. The failure nearly burned his body parts. He is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure and current mileages were 5,000.”
