Suzuki GSX1300R: Electrical
Affects Suzuki GSX1300R · 2008 — about 336 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, improper routing of the wiring harness can cause the harness to flex rather than slide when the handlebar is moved. Repeated side-to-side movement of the handlebar, and flexing of the wiring harness, can eventually cause damage to the ignition switch lead wires. This could result in intermittent or complete loss of electrical power, which can cause a loss of lighting and/or stalling of the engine. Unexpected loss of lighting and/or engine stalling could, under certain conditions, cause a vehicle crash resulting in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the lower portion of the ignition switch (which contains the ignition switch lead wires) and ensure that the harness is routed properly.
