Gsxr 750 having throttle issues around 4,000RPM. Power shuts off, then comes back on abruptly. Feels like bike is stalling, then start again. Very dangerous when turning or cruising around town with cars behind you while you have sudden loss of power. No causes found as to why it's happening. Suzuki dealerships should recall these 2007 bikes. This problem is unacceptable. I am selling my bike immediately. I feel it is unsafe to ride in this condition with throttle instability.
Bike unexpectedly accelerates. No control. Happen at low speed after riding rough and bucking and coming out of a turn. It accelerated so fast it threw me off, took off and laid on its side red lining. No control and really scary. Throttle did not responded. This happened at a low RPM. Don't know if I trust the bike to even get back on (wont start now).
I was coming to a stop at a t intersection when my motorcycle fell. I got back up to try and move it but the motorcycle would not move. I fell on my left side but found out that the right side of my rotor inner mounting plate was bent. The approx speed I was going was 15 MPH. I sent my motorcycle into the shop the next day and contacted suzuki. They sent me a packet and after I filled it out sent it back in. Since then I got a voicemail from their rep saying "I pushed on the brakes too hard".
I have cut and pasted the complaint of a fellow forum member since our problems are the same. Please help us resolve this issue. The problem has been labeled the herky jerkies. While riding at any RPM when the rear wheel speed matches engine speed the throttle shuts off abruptly with no warning, throwing you forward overloading the front wheel.
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. This could be from a rusting throttle control valve that is not opening correctly.
