2008 recall
« on: May 27, 2008, 06:22:34 PM »
As seen on LABUSAS


Dear Suzuki Dealer
I regret to inform you that
Suzuki has determined that a problem affecting motor vehicle
safety exists on certain 2008 GSX1300RK8 model motorcycles. The ignition switch lead
wire may be improperly routed resulting in loss of electrical power and stalling of the
engine. As a result, the affected units cannot be sold at retail until corrective action is
completed.
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) will be issued in the near future detailing the
necessary steps to correct this situation.
All part number and ordering information will be contained in the Technical Service
Bulletin. The parts will be available for immediate ordering when the TSB is released.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We regard our customer’s safety to be of
the utmost importance. It is for these reasons that we have made this difficult decision.
If you have any questions, please contact American Suzuki.

Mel Harris
First sidecar over 200mph @ 218+ also the fastest ever record!
Fastest Open bike over a mile from 2005-2008 @ 259.393
Fastest NAKED record El Mirage @ 240+ come get some!
Fastest bike ever at ELMO 240.197  "NAKED BABY"
Congrats to Richard Assen 260.7

Picked mine up May 2. This sure has not been a very clear description from Suzuki. Its all hear say. Has Suzuki actually released a statement?

I saw on the 14 site that the 06/07 14's have a serious frame recall.....   http://www.usrecallnews.com/2008/05/nhtsa-1138.html

and also a post on the busa recall. The info was that some busa's were shutting down at 160 mph. I've had mine way over that and nary a problem. I emailed Brock and he has not heard of the recall nor is posted at the above site. I'm sure it's coming, but it's not listed yet. Also the 14's have engine knock issues and some dealers are buying the 14's back. Apparently the number 3 rod is different from the others.........could this be from the old ZX11 issue of number 3 rod? Well.............here we go again......

It's not a recall its a bullention! If your bike is at the dealer I wouldn't expect to see it for a month or so! They gotta figure out the problem then send the parts to fix it!
Sounds like some new wiring and a starter switch will be the parts!!

Can you see what you need to see by lifting the tank, or do you have to remove more "stuff?"
