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.

THE SAME REGULATOR/RECTIFIER MODEL USED IN OUR C90S BIKES, IS SUBJECT TO RECALL WHEN INSTALLED IN OTHER SUZUKI MODELS, BUT NOT ON OUR C90S. WE ALL KNOW, THE C90 REGULATOR IS FAILURE PRONE, NOTABLY DUE TO ITS EXPOSURE TO EXTREME HEAT IN THE REAR GENERATOR COVER, BUT ALSO DUE TO ITS DESIGN. AS A RESULT IT CAN FAIL RESULTING IN SUBSEQUENT FAILURE OF THE STATOR, AND STALLING OF THE BIKE ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME REASONS THE SAME REGULATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED IN VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER MODEL IT IS USED IN. IN OTHER BIKE MODELS, THE REG…

DT: 2005 SUZUKI VS1400. THE CONSUMER STATED HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK, AND/OR THE GAS CAP RATTLED. THIS WAS A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER WHILE DRIVING. HE WAS CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE A GAS LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED THERE WAS A RATTLE AND IT VIBRATED AGAINST SOMETHING, BUT THE PART WAS NOT DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED IF IT WAS NOT A DEFECTIVE PART THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

BIKE WOULD NOT START AFTER A LONG RIDE. JUMP STARTED TO GET HOME. AFTER LOOKING IN TO THE REASON FOUND THAT THE STATOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND BURNT UP.I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN A HALF AN HOUR EARLIER AS I WAS RIDING AT 50 MPH AND LOSE ALL POWER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A GREAT MANY SUZUKI MOTORCYCLE OWNERS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM ON BIKES THIS OLD. SUZUKI HAS A RECALL OF THE FAILED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE C90 WHICH USES THE SAME ONES AS THOSE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THI…
