Suzuki Recall For 23,000 GSX-Rs

Suzuki is recalling more than 23,000 of its GSX-R750 (model years 2011-2014) and GSX-R1000 (model years 2009-2014) motorcycles due to a drive chain adjuster issue.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “If a gear is missed while up-shifting, the strain applied to the drive chain after the next shift may cause the rear axle to move, damaging the left-side drive chain adjuster.”

The potential consequence is “if the drive chain adjuster gets damaged, the drive chain may come off, removing power to the rear wheel and increasing the risk of a crash.”

Suzki is notifying owners and replacing the left-side chain adjuster with an improved part. The recall notice is posted here.
