The vehicle i am reporting is a 2009 suzuki burgman 650 scooter. It is the largest scooter sold in the country and is often used as a touring bike. The bike has 8500 miles so it is fairly new. On saturday, april 2nd, 2011, i was riding on a secluded road, except for traffic, from galveston texas to freeport texas. I was about 80 miles from home. It's a two lane road with no shoulder and drainage ditch on each side of the road. Traveling at 60 mph, i started to feel a loss of power, then the engine began to miss out and without any other notice, the engine died. There is no clutch on a scooter so the bike starts to stop fairly quick, and with no where to go to get out of the road except the ditch. Traffic came up behind me quickly. In short notice i realized there was no electrical power in the bike. After getting the bike home and to the suzuki dealer, i was told the rectifier had malfunctioned, and there was no recall on this bike as there was on the suzuki burgman 400 scooters for the same part. I found a website called burgmanusa.com where burgman owners from across the globe were reporting this same problem in great numbers. Many not wanting the same fate as i, have been replacing their own with components from another manufacture. I feel suzuki should be recalling these rectifiers before a failure in the middle of an interstate leaves someone injured or worse. Thank you

The design and manufacture of the part # 92161-10g00-y06, lid, maint, gray, is such that the part is of in adequate thickness and has inadequate fastener tension. If the thin tab at the right edge is broken then the lid for the fuse area will fly off the bike at 50-55 miles per hour. It did and struck me in the shoulder as it passed by. There is the definite possibility of it striking the passenger or driver in the face if wind conditions are right. This is unsatisfactory on a number of levels and should be examined by the design team. They relied on a small thin plastic tab to trap the cover behind the door to the glove box. There is no plastic air dam / cover on the back of the fuse box area and the air pressure developed behind this lid is too high for the lid to withstand if this tab breaks off. The dealer parts counter employee was aware of the loss of this cover by other owners. *tr

This is a potentially dangerous situation involving a 2006 suzuki burgman scooter here are some details: purchased new 2006 suzuki burgman scooter, with only 138 miles on this scooter my self(dave) and the service manager(trevor) noticed rusty weld joints,he contacted his area suzuki service rep and we both were shocked at his solution"just put touch up paint over the rust?????????????? We both thought suzuki would either send another scooter to replace this one or at the very least replace the frame! After all the frame is the back bone of this scooter and rust in the weld joints after 138 miles of use suggests an unsafe condition! I continued to ride this scooter waiting to here from the suzuki rep i was contacted by suzuki once concerning the rusty welds and they too suggest touchup paint?????????????? This is not a safe repair the frame should be replaced in the interest of safety. I told suzuki i was giving them time to respond and it has been 5 months and no one from suzuki has contacted me or trevor i'm turning to you for help in this situation and to remedy a potential hazard. Thank you for your response david a zichek. *nm

Last sunday i was preparing to wash my suzuki burgman scooter. The problem arose when i attempted to place the scooter onto it's center stand. I was standing on the left side of the scooter with my left hand on the left handlebar hand grip and my right hand on the passenger grab handle. When i used my right foot to depress the lever that is part of the center stand and is used to elevate the scooter onto the center stand the scooter slowly fell away from me onto it's right side causing the right hand mirror, the right hand grip and the muffler covers to become scratched and damaged. Had the scooter fallen towards me, or if someone had been standing on the right side of the scooter, injury could easily have occurred. When i looked at the center stand lever i noted that it , along with the lefthand side of the center stand had broken entirely away from the remainder of the center stand. This breakage caused the scooter to fall. This is the only time the center stand has failed on my scooter however i have learned from the internet based suzuki burgman users group that this is not an uncommon occurrence and that suzuki has upgraded and reinforced the center stands on this model, the an 650, on several occasions in subsequent model years. I have retained the broken part and have not yet facilitated repairs or replacement of the broken center stand. *tr

On 6/13/2012 i was driving my 2008 burgman an650 at approximately 35 mph in normal driving conditions on a paved highway when the scooter suddenly lost momentum yet the engine continued to operate normally. Upon closure examination, it was determined that the scooter would require servicing. Had traffic conditions been heavier, the incident could have proven to be fatal. On 6/20/2012 i wrote suzuki corp to inform them of the problem in detail. In a response dated 7/25/2012, suzuki made it clear they will not provide any assistance. A mechanical inspection performed by the by the dealer i purchased the scooter from has advised that the actuator gears had failed and will cost about $1,800 to repair. The scooter is currently in the shop pending determination of its fate. The bike has less than 17,500 miles. In my opinion these scooters should be recalled. *tr *js

My transmission on my suzuki burgman 650 keeps going out. It seems to happen about every 12 to 15k miles; with the exception of this last time it happened at about 5k. The scooter doesn't shift out of second gear. It first starts with intermittent gear shifting problems then gets severe and stays in first or second. I've had it in the shop 3 times now in just over one year. Every time its been in the shop, its been there for on average at least 2 months. The longest the bike has been in the shop was for three months. Effectively the bike has been in the shop for about a third of the time that i've owned it. I really like the bike but i think this a problem that the company should recognize and rectify. *tr

After completing all recommended services by the dealer where the vehicle was purchased, the vehicle transmission did not engage and i was left stranded along side of a rode. My concern is had this happened on an interstate highway travelling at a greater speed; i could have lost control of the vehicle or been rear-ended because the vehicle abruptly stopped and lost the ability to move under power. Only means of moving the vehicle was to physically push the vehicle. *cn

Sudden failure of brakes while riding on city street. Investigation by dealer isolated it to the abs hydraulic unit failing "closed" and preventing pressure from handle/master cylinder reaching the wheels. Failed june 2016. Repaired 7 july 2016. Bike bought in 2013 from original owner. Fluids changed at that time but were fresh when changed. Brake fluid was honey colored and not clear. Only front brake failed. Rear was still operational. (implying only a valve controlling the front brake line was stuck closed. As a result of this partial failure, the bike could be carefully ridden home. It was trailered to the shop. Shop has the part.
