SUZUKI#2A08

MODEL: 2005 AND 2006 GSX-R1000 MOTORCYCLESTITLE: Frame Reinforcement Brace Installation/Frame

SubjectSuzuki has received reports of cracking or breakage of the motorcycle frame in certain

extreme situations where unusually high stress is placed on the frame, such as collisions involving the front wheel/fork assembly.

Suzuki has also received reports of cracking or breakage of the frame behind and below the steering neck when the motorcycle is subjected to repeated hard landings from hazardous maneuvers such as extreme or extended wheelies or other stunts. Suzuki believes that this type of driving activity is reckless - and illegal when performed on a public roadway - and does not condone it. If the frame becomes broken during this type of extreme use, a crash could occur.

Initiate Campaign: Dealers will inspect the relevant area of the frame for cracks. If no cracks are found, a frame reinforcement brace will be attached to the frame using bolts and epoxy adhesive. The brace is aluminum and very lightweight (less than 2 pounds). It is very slender and fits underneath the top spar of the frame behind and below the steering neck. The appearance, performance and handling of the motorcycle remain unchanged with the reinforcement brace installed. Should cracks be found during the inspection, the frame will be replaced with a new frame that has the reinforcement brace installed.

Page 28: Apache Recalls Oct 2015

MODEL: 2014-2011 GSXR750, 2014-2009 GSXR1000TITLE: Drive Chain Adjuster

SubjectOn affected vehicles, just the motorcycle rider does not upshift the transmission correctly, a

missed shift can occur, resulting in a neutral condition and a high engine speed. If the rider tries to recover from the shift by and shifting without disengaging the clutch, a very large torque is applied to the drive sprocket. This will cause the upper part of the drive chain to immediately experience very high tension, which can result in the left side of the rear axle shaft moving forward and damaging the left side drive chain adjuster, which may result in the chain derailing from the sprocket. If the drive chain comes off the sprockets while the motorcycle is being operated, engine power will not be transmitted to the rear wheel. This may result in loss of control the motorcycle, and can increase the risk of a crash.

Initiate Campaign:install a replacement chain adjuster and the replacement axle nut.

M2010-010R

MODEL: 2009 VMX17Y/YCTITLE: APS/TPS Wiring

SubjectIn affected motorcycles, there could be excessive electrical resistance in the ground wire for

the accelerator position sensor (APS) and the throttle position sensor (TPS) due to insufficient crimped connections. This excessive resistance can cause incorrect signal to be sent to the engine control unit (ECU) which could lead to unstable engine idle speed and or keep the idle speed from falling below 3000 RPM when the throttle is released which could cause loss of control and result in injury or death.

Initiate Campaign:

Yamaha is initiating a factory modification campaign. Affected motorcycles will have an additional sub-lead wire installed that bypasses the problem area which prevents the excessive resistance

M2011

MODEL: 2011 FJR13AAS/AASCTITLE: Front Brake Switch

M2014-017R

MODEL: 2014 YZFR6TITLE: Aluminum Wheel Hardness

SubjectIn affected units, the middle in the front and rear wheels does not meet required hardness

specifications due to a manufacturing error. Therefore the wheel bearing could move from its original position, allowing the wheel to loosen, and also wheel deformation could allow air to leak past the tire. This could result in a possibility of a crash with injury or death.
