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).

At low rpm's or opening throttle from stop, the throttle abruptly engages and jerks me forward in an uncontrolled manner. This could be serious if i were to loose control or take my attention away from the road or vehicles in front of me. *tr
My gas tank on a 2006 gsxr 750 rusted out in under 3 years. Gas was pouring out of the bottom of the tank where 3 holes were subsequently discovered.
