2005 Suzuki GSX-R750 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).

I own a 2005 suzuki gsx-r 750cc sportbike motorcycle and im having issues with the check engine light going on. I took it to the dealer who diagnosed a c28 error which is a faulty throttle valve actuator. Apparently this is an issue with many 04-05 suzuki gsx-r owners. The entire throttle body must be replaced for what many people believe to be a defect in the design of the actuator. Somehow the soldering points on the circuit board become loose or come apart due to vibration. This part is part of the emissions system of the motorcycle, and supposedly is covered under suzukis 5-10 year or…

I was riding the motorcycle which I only had for 10 days and gave it some gas and the front end came up than down, nothing major than a few seconds later the front end just dove into the ground. It was going approximately 25 - 30 MPH on a private road as the speed limit was is. The motorcycle had frame sliders to protect it in event of a crash, but after the crash I got up to pick up the motorcycle and the 2 welds on the neck of the frame split down the middle completely. I contacted suzuki , and they sent a representative, who had raced and said he'd never seen anything like that before…

I was riding my motorcycle (2005 suzuki gsx-r750) at about 25 miles per hour and I crashed. It was unexpected there were no obstructions in the road, I was just riding and next thing I know I'm rolling over. I got up and went over to my bike and noticed the two welds had cracked and broken on both sides of the frame, which was odd because the bike just slid on my frame sliders I had installed which are just soft plastic. The damage to the bike was quite minimal, my mirror, brake lever, bar end, brake pedal, foot peg and muffler were all still intact, but both sides or my frame had split right…
