What owners report
2014 SUZUKI DL1000. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MOTORCYCLE ECU UNIT WHICH INCLUDES FUELING ISSUES THAT CAUSES LOW RPM THROTTLE CONTROLS/ RESPONSE AND STALLING VIBRATIONS AND NOISES. *M *JS
THE MOTORCYCLE WILL STALL AT ODD INTERVALS. IT WILL ALSO BACKFIRE THRU THE AIRBOX. AT LOW SPEED, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE THROTTLE. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN THE ENGINE HASN'T WARMED UP FULLY AND ITS COLD OUTSIDE. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO DROPPING THE BIKE WHEN IT STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT HAS ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN HOT AND SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY.
ENGINE WOULD CUT OFF RANDOMLY, APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY 300 OR 400 MILES OF RIDING. ALWAYS WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP. ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE NOT MOVING, BUT PROBABLY WOULDN'T NOTICE PROBLEM IF MOVING, UNLESS UNDER LOW POWER OR SLIPPING THE CLUTCH, IE, LOW SPEED MANEUVERING. SOMETIMES COLD ENGINE, SOMETIMES FULLY WARMED UP. SUZUKI REPLACED ECU (WITH PART # ENDING IN ...J12) UNDER WARRANTY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HAVE NOT HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE, BUT NOW WHEN ENGINE IS WARMING UP AND DRIVING AWAY, ENGINE WILL "PUFF" WITH A BRIEF LOSS OF POWER, USUALLY WHILE TURNING OUT ONTO THE STREET. DOES NOT HAPPEN IF FULLY WARMED UP. *TR
EVER SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THEN AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE THE MOTOR DEVELOPED A KNOCK. THE FUELING IS ERRATIC AT TIMES MEANING IT HICCUPS OR SURGES AND HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER AND TO SUZUKI IN NOVEMBER OF 2015. I ALSO FOUND ON A SUZUKI FORUM DEDICATED TO THIS PARTICULAR MODEL THAT OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I TOOK THE BIKE TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS REMEDIED. I SPOKE WITH SUZUKI CORPORATE AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOME MODELS WERE EXPERIENCING A KNOCK DUE TO AN INTOLERANCE BUT THAT IT WOULDN'T AFFECT RELIABILITY. WHEN ASKED TO PUT IT IN WRITING THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES BUT THEN NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH AND WOULDN'T RETURN A
VEHICLE IS A NOS 2014 LEFTOVER PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2016. VEHICLE NOW HAS 2,500 MILES ON IT AND HAS INTERMITTENTLY STALLED UPON TAKEOFF IN 1ST GEAR AT LEAST 7 TIMES. EACH TIME THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE IS WARM. UPON ENGAGING 1ST GEAR FROM A STOP, WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED AND THROTTLE APPLIED, THE MOTORCYCLE WILL COUGH AND STALL. THIS HAPPENS AT CRITICAL TRANSITION TIMES; AT AN INTERSECTION, IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND ONCE IN A CROWDED PARKING LOT CAUSING ME TO DROP THE BIKE ON ITS SIDE. I CALLED SUZUKI AND FILED A CASE/COMPLAINT AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT A DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER 1 WEEK AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO "RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM" AND WERE UNABLE TO DO
