Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 suzuki sv1000s motorcycle had an intermittent total power(electrical) failure that would result in the bike shutting off. i took the bike to a dealer and they could not duplicate the problem. the week of august 13-19 it began to get worse so i stopped riding and began to research on my own and found the ignition switch connector had failed and began to burn the wires on the switch end. for right now the switch is removed and not installed on the bike for fear of a fire. the wiring harness end has some damage but not much, but when the connector failed the heat fused them together and getting them apart had very difficult without causing damage to the wiring harness end. as of right now i have not replaced any parts the bike is down until i can purchase a new switch since its not under warranty. *jb
