Only the S version of the TL series was the widow maker not the R version, and only the 1997 version was the problem, as that had over 120+bhp at the rear wheel and only wieghed 187kg, and the chassis and poorly built rotary rear damper could not cope with the power so big tankslappers occured. The R was more stable (135bhp and 197kg), the S version is more explosive low down, the R version is built for top end speed.
@v8chrisbadboy I have a 97 TL1000s and with a Scotts damper and a Bitubo shock ,and race tech fork the bike is transformed into an awesome stable machine.

TL1000R is what year?
shane5595 4 years ago
1998 - 2001 I think it was produced. Suzuki quit it because they had problems with the rear suspension.

It was too powerfull for the average rider. It had something like 150 HP. His replacement was the SV 1000 with only 120 HP. But easier to ride.
