On February 7, 2024, Suzuki Motor USA issued both a Stop Sale Notice and a safety recall for some 2024 GSX-8Rs due to a possible issue with the drive chain. On affected bikes, the drive chain could potentially detach in use due to improper riveting to hold the chain together and moving as it should to transmit power between the sprockets. If the drive chain becomes detached while you're riding, it could increase the risk of a crash.
