What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Inability to smoothly decelerate or hold a neutral throttle setting. Intermittent, abrupt opening/closing of the throttle causes rapid acceleration/deceleration. When attempting to smoothly roll off the throttle, the motorcycle initially does not slow down at all, then acts as if the throttle was slammed shut. Once a small amount of throttle is reapplied, it snaps back to the previous throttle setting. Creates a jerky, unstable condition, especially when cornering, or on slippery roads.
2007 suzuki gsx-r 600. Herky jerky power delivery, incorrect or defective tps. Very bad, though intermittent throttle response and heavy engine braking are unsafe. Freeway accident may have been caused or aggravated by this issue, as no other cause is apparent.
Abrupt on/off throttle can cause sudden and unexpected rapid deceleration and acceleration, destabilizing the vehicle potentially leading to loss of control and a crash. The problem seems to occur at lower engine rpm's (4,000-6,000 RPM) and seems most prevalent at high engine temperatures (205+ degrees) and especially when the vehicle is turned on and started while at higher temperatures.
