Several Suzuki models have been recalled due to a battery discharge issue that can result in a drained battery and possible engine stalling

Suzuki Australia recently announced a recall of almost 9000 bikes, models in the GSX-R, GSX and GSF range with 2008 and 2009 model year designations.


Identifying features
All 2008 and 2009 Suzuki GSX-R600, GSXR750, GSF650, GSF1250, GSX650F, GSX1300BK motorcycles


Target Number

What are the hazards?
If problem occurs it may cause discharging of the battery and can lead to engine stalling or non-start condition.


What are the defects?
Some regulator/rectifier assemblies were produced with insufficient adhesion between the power module and the rectifier case. Due to the insufficient adhesion, heat generated from the power module can cause the power module to lift from the case. This condition can cause excessive heat on the module which can result in insufficient charge current being provided to the battery.


What should consumers do?
Letters have been sent out to customers in relation this recall. Consumers are advised to contact their nearest authorised Suzuki dealer for further information.
