The contact owns a 2023 Suzuki GSX1300R. The contact stated that while his wife was riding at an undisclosed speed, the motorcycle inadvertently lost motive power. The driver was able to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway, where the motorcycle failed to restart. The oil warning light was illuminated. The motorcycle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure, surmising that the fuel that the contact was using had insufficient octane levels, resulting in combustion issues. The contact was advised to use a higher-octane…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
