Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2004: “Motorcycle misses and hesitates dor operation between 3,000 and 4,000 rpms when warm. Sometimes stalls. Problem is well documented in internet user groups. Bike has been to dealer to be fixed. Dealer says he talked with Suzuki and the bike is running as good as its going to without going aftermarket and installing equipment that will void warranty. Could become dangerous as hesitation and stalling is most noticable in heavy traffic and intersections.”
