I AM NOT REPORTING A FAILURE. RATHER I AM REPORTING THAT I AM MATERIALLY IMPACTED BY THE REAR SUBFRAME FAILURES ON SUZUKI GSX1300R MOTORCYCLES (SEVERAL IN UK; AS MANY AS 40 WORLDWIDE) BECAUSE SUZUKI REFUSES TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE FAILING SUBFRAMES.

SUZUKI'S POSITION ON THIS ISSUE IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE; THEY SAY THE GSX1300R WAS 'NOT DESIGNED TO CARRY LUGGAGE'. THIS IS LIKE A CAR MANUFACTURER SAYING, AFTE…

THE ALUMINUM SUBFRAME WAS RECALLED BY SUZUKI OF EUROPE FOR BEING DEFECTIVE. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN SEVERAL DOCUMENTED FAILURES HERE IN THE US. ALSO, AN INDEPENDENT TESTING COMPANY IN EUROPE TESTED THE SUBFRAMES AND FOUND THEM TO BE DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN. SUZUKI OF AMERICA IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN RIDING MY BIKE. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WHEN MY WIFE RIDES WITH ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ASAP.

Reported: 2000-10-11 (October 11, 2000)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE SPRING IN THE CAM CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTER CAN BREAK. EXCESSIVE SLACK WILL DEVELOP IN THE CAM CHAIN, ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO JUMP TO THE WRONG POSITION ON THE CAM SHAFT SPROCKETS.
