Rectifier recall notice came today

Got mine Friday, it's no big deal unless they don't have the part in stock........... or the R/R fails open and frys my computer. I've got 24k and it lives on a batt tender.

Took it to Stubb's in Houston and they did it in 40mins. Very painless. :thumbsup:
 
Got mine fixed this morning! I now have the punch stamp after the vin #.

My bike died because of this about 3 days after I bought it. Fortunately I was only going 35 MPH (the actual speed limit for once) when the bike basically died mid stream. As in it stopped. Poof. Nothing. The engine would turn over, But nothing else. Was my first time on a bike like this in my life, and the next thing I knew the thing was gone for a week :banghead:
 
Can someone please help me make sense of this? I called my local Suzuki shop and asked about the rectifier recall. They acknowledged it and told me I would have to bring it in for them to TEST it first to see if it needed to be changed. Ummmm.... Say it tests out fine but it gives up the ghost the next hour, day, week etc... Why wouldn't they simply change it instead of (I'm assuming) waiting until the bike is disabled by it and changing it. I thought the recall was a preventitive measure to keep people from getting stranded by a defective rectifier. Am I way off in right field about this?

They should change it regardless if anything is wrong with it right now. I had no issues with mine since buying brand new in 08 and i still took mine in to get replaced. I'm the exception and not the rule on this but i was lucky enough to keep my old one as well.

Just so you know Suzuki moves at a snails pace in pond water with the recall. I had my recall work done 2wks ago and i just recieved the recall letter today. Go figure.

You are spot on and your dealer is missing the boat. I would seek out another dealer, as their response indicates they haven't taken the time to fully understand the matter. If you MUST deal with them, contact their head of service and/or owner and "assist" them in understanding the recall.

Here's the recall copy, direct from Suzuki:

Good luck!
 
I just got the rectifier recall done this past weekend. I have been experiencing problems before and even after the new one was installed. If I run into traffic or I'm riding around hitting a lot of stop lights, my bike cuts out on me even while I'm riding in gear. After I got the recall done, I rode down a route rather than the highway to get my bike heated up a little bit. After success with no issues, I rode through the city of Fredericksburg, VA to hit a bunch of stops to get my bike heated up even more. As I was about to turn to head home, it cut out on me. :banghead: I ended up sitting around for 45 mins to wait for my bike to cool down before it started back up. After the bike cut out, I tried starting it again and it wouldn't turn over. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I have researched around on the same issue and it seems like there could be a lot of possibilities to include, but not limited to, fuel pump connection/going bad, bad throttle position sensor, tilt sensor, stator, clogged return line and starter relay. I really don't want to have to pay someone a lot of money to do a bunch of tests and etc. If you have any suggestions, please post! Thanks!

did you call your dealer to see if your bike needs the ignition wire recall? some models on the 08' qualify and it's due to a factory zip tie being too tight which may cause the bike to cut out during operation.
