The 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000 has two recalls, the more serious being a fuel pump O-ring that can leak gasoline and raise the risk of a fire if a source of ignition is nearby.
The second recall is specific to the engine and drivetrain: when upshifting from first to second gear, a missed shift can leave the transmission in neutral and allow engine RPM to spike sharply. If that over-rev breaks the drive chain, the rear wheel loses power instantly, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash.
