Best for: A versatile naked streetfighter built for punchy midrange torque, everyday commuting, and confident weekend cornering rather than outright top speed.
Built for: Delivers the characterful, torquey pulse typical of a 90-degree V-twin with sharp, flickable handling from its steel trellis frame and 17-inch sport wheels.
Not ideal for: Not the right choice for long-distance touring comfort, pillion-heavy trips, or any off-road riding given its street-focused suspension and minimal wind protection.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINEDec 2015 · 15V852000

Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 SFV650 and AN650A, and 2012-2014 DL650A motorcycles. Contamination from component production and storage combined with manufacturing variations may result in excessive tappet and camshaft wear within the engines of the affected motorcycles.

Risk: The excessive wear may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tappet clearance, replacing the tappets and camshafts, as necessary. All motorcycles that have less than 2500 miles will have their tappets and camshafts replaced since wear may not be evident. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2016. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-714-996-7040. Suzuki's number for this recall is 2A50, 2A51, and 2A52.

Remedy: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank breather hose. If the existing breather hose was found to be kinked and obstructed, the fuel tank will also be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 8, 2016.
