The 2008 Suzuki GSX1300R has two recalls, both electrical, where wiring damage can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while riding, raising the risk of a crash.
In both cases, the wiring harness can sustain damage over time through normal handlebar movement. If the ignition switch lead wires are affected, the engine can cut out without warning while the motorcycle is in motion.

What can fail
The wiring harness can flex instead of slide when you move the handlebars side to side. This repeated flexing can damage the ignition switch wires, causing the electrical system to lose power or fail completely.
What the fix does
The dealer will replace the lower part of the ignition switch and route the harness correctly so it moves freely.
