The 1978 Suzuki GS1000 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a battery mounting bracket that can wear through the rear brake fluid reservoir hose over time, causing brake fluid to leak and reducing stopping power.
The second recall involves a rubber component inside the fuel tank filler cap that swells when it contacts gasoline, blocking the cap's vent hole. When that vent is blocked, a vacuum builds in the fuel tank that can starve the engine of fuel and cause it to stall.
