What owners wrote
My 2003 suzuki sv1000s motorcycle has a long history of cutting out while in motion, in traffic, in turns, resulting in eventual and complete electronic failure on 7/8/2006. This has been an ongoing problem since I purchased the bike in august of 2005. I have had multiple mechanics (even dealer mechanics) checking the fuel pump, gas tank, air filter, fuel filter, and fuses to attempt to fix this problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 suzuki sv1000s motorcycle. On two separate occasions, the vehicle completely shut off without warning. The vehicle would not restart and had to be towed both times. The dealer stated that the ignition harness was faulty and replaced it twice. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was 27,000 and failure mileage was 23,000.
