Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and model year 2005-2013 GSX-R1000 motorcycles.

Brakes

Correction: Dealers will install a redesigned front brake master cylinder.

Transport Canada #2013360 · Oct 2013

Engine

On certain motorcycles the Idle Speed Control valve (ISC) may malfunction. The valve may remain in the open position on start up and cause a no load engine speed as high as 5000 rpm. If the rider chooses to operate the motorcycle in this condition it could result in a crash. Correction: The ISC and ECM will be replaced.
