While the motorcycle was still under warranty since day one there has been a hesitation from 3000-4000 rpms. It was taken to 2 dealers and no remedy was found. I was told by both service managers that this was a known problem at suzuki for this particular model, and that there is currently no cure. The motorcycle is unsafe to operate and could lead to an unavoidable accident. The cycle now has 4500 miles on it.

Motorcycle misses and hesitates dor operation between 3,000 and 4,000 rpms when warm. Sometimes stalls. Problem is well documented in internet user groups. Bike has been to dealer to be fixed. Dealer says he talked with suzuki and the bike is running as good as its going to without going aftermarket and installing equipment that will void warranty. Could become dangerous as hesitation and stalling is most noticable in heavy traffic and intersections.
