The 2011 Suzuki GSX-R1000 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a drivetrain issue where a missed upshift can stress the drive chain enough to move the rear axle and damage the chain adjuster, potentially causing the chain to come off and cut power to the rear wheel.
The other recall involves the side stand interlock switch, which can fail due to loose bolts and cut the ignition circuit, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while riding.
