The 2014 Suzuki DL650 has two recalls, both of which can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while riding, raising the risk of a crash. Internal engine wear affecting the tappets and camshaft can cause the engine to cut out without warning. On the electrical side, the alternator stator can short circuit, preventing the battery from charging and eventually stalling the engine as well.
