2007 Suzuki GSX-R600 recalls

Recall 13V-449: Service Brakes

Reported Oct 18, 2013 · 208,966 vehicles affected · Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.

Problem: Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.

Risk: As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact Suzuki at 1-800-572-1490. Suzuki's campaign numbers for this recall are: 2A (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36).

Electrical System · at 12,500 miles · reported Apr 13, 2021
Faulty and/or terrible placement of the rectifier causing my bike to overcharge the battery. I AM very lucky the battery didn't catch fire or explode. I have replaced the stator, rectifier, and battery before because of this problem, but this time was a lot worse. Why has suzuki not recalled the 07's?? After getting off the the interstate, riding approximately 70 MPH, I noticed a strong sulfur smell which turned out to be the battery. This problem needs to be fixed by suzuki. They are very lucky someone hasn't lost their life because of this.

Rectifier and stator problem. Riding down the road the bike completely turns off. Pulled into a parking lot and smell smoke. I look at the rectifier and it is extremely hot with a small ember burning on the back of it. Bike will not turn on anymore. Looks to be a similar recall for bikes made in 07 as well.
Electrical System · at 13,000 miles · reported Feb 20, 2019
I've bought 2 batteries, 2 stators and 2 rectifiers because my motorcycle charging system is over charging and frying the whole charging system. It causes my bike to have a very rapid jolt/loss of power almost throwing me over the handlebars because it just falls on its face and dies. Then it won't restart or anything until the parts are replaced! This has happened 3 times to me in the 8 months I've owned the bike and I know for sure it's happened at least 1 time prior to me purchasing it..... The times it's happened to me I've been on the highway going 55-65 MPH.

Be cause of the factory location of the rectifier behind the radiator the rectifier will over heat and blowup causing a short in the electrical or catch on fire researching and finding out this is a common issue the manufacture should replace the rectifier and stator to provent death while riding the motorcycle if your in gear while the rectifier fails the bike will stall and stop cause it was in gear also relocate the rectifier to a better location.

Regulator rectifier recall I believe this condition to be caused by defective regulator/rectifier. There is a recall for late 2007- 2008 models, however my bike is not included. Faulty engineering location behind radiator causing over heating condition in addition to faulty adhesive material. Both headlight and high beam burnt out- over voltage condition. Impairing ability to drive at night. Main fuse burnt out- causing no start condition.
