Suzuki when upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will exist and may cause very high engine RPM.
The short version
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling engine. Here is what owners need to know.
When upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will exist and may cause very high engine RPM. If the rider then shifts into second gear without disengaging the clutch, the motorcycles chain may stretch or break.
If the drive chain breaks, the motorcycle will lose power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Engine Control Module (ECM), and inspect and replace the drive chain and sprockets, as necessary, free of charge.
