- Filed Aug 19, 2026Failure Aug 10, 2026Chesapeake, VAElectrical system1 injured
On 08/10/2026 was riding my 2026 Suzski GSX 8R ruffly around 3:20pm the throttle grip mechanically/electronically stuck at full throttle in second gear at approximately 35 mph. The grip remained open after i released it. Pulling the cluch caused the engin to disengage/release. The motorcycle accelerated beyond my control and I had to put it down. I was rushed to the hospital with head/neck left side chest pains and both knees swollen. The bike is currently and still being inspected by the dealership that sold me the bike. There were no warning lamps, or messages or problems with the bike prier to me putting it down. This was a brand new bike just at the breakin point of 600miles.
