Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 suzuki sv1000s, bike was running fine for three years. stopped bike for 15 minutes. come back to find no power. cause is a faulty connector between ignition switch and main wiring harness. if connector would have shorted while in a turn the bike could have went down injuring myself. i have contacted the local dealer. they are checking to see if suzuki has changed that connector on the new harnesses. this has happened on at least four other sv owners. it can cause serious damage or death. the connector needs to be of higher rating to handle the electrical load as well as the heat from the placement above the engine. *nm
