| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There were no events leading to the failure. this is the 2nd such failure i have experienced. when approaching a stoplight in heavy traffic i was downshifting the motorcycle using the engine to decelerate. the clutch cable snapped without warning with the motorcycle still in gear. i was able to lock us the brakes and kill the motor before running into the back of a car. this is the 2nd clutch cable on this motorcycle that has failed in less than 2 years. after the first occurrence i just thought maybe i had a bad part. i replaced it and didn't think anything more about it. this time i was a little more concerned. upon close inspection of the clutch lever where the cable is inserted i noticed a burr in the casting that may be causing this problem and causing the cable to wear. i feel this is a very dangerous situation and needs investigation by suzuki immediately. this is a very heavy and powerful motorcycle and loss of control would pose a very serious hazard to other vehicles and the rider. *tr |
