DEFECT #1 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH


Posted on: 2005-12-21
Description
On certain motorcycles, the ignition switch wiring harness may have been improperly routed at the time of production.  If the wiring harness is not routed properly, it can rub against the clutch cable/throttle cable.

Continued rubbing may eventually lead to a short circuit which may cause the engine to stall or the lights to go out.  This will increase the chance of a crash resulting in serious injury or death.

Corrective Action
Dealers will re-route the ignition switch wiring harness and replace the lock set including the ignition switch along with the clutch cable/throttle cable free of charge.  The recall began on january 6, 2006.  Owners may contact suzuki at 714-572-1490.
