The 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump O-ring that can leak gasoline and, near any ignition source, cause a fire.
The fuel leak stems from an O-ring that may have been twisted during installation, preventing it from sealing properly around the fuel pump. There is also a separate engine concern: when upshifting between first and second gear, the transmission can slip into a false neutral instead of engaging second, causing engine RPM to spike sharply. If that causes the drive chain to break, the motorcycle loses power mid-ride, raising the risk of a crash.

At a glance
What can fail
When upshifting from first to second gear, if second gear doesn't engage, the engine may race to very high RPM. If you then shift into second gear without releasing the clutch, the chain may stretch or break.
