[2] Suzuki issued a global recall of the TLS after this incident to install a new damper, which became standard in later-year models.

[3] The TLS motor featured a 90° V-twin for perfect primary balance and had hybrid chain/gear driven cams.

This hybrid design eased maintenance immensely and gave the motor additional aural character because of the gear whine.

Suzuki also sold many of the TL motors to Cagiva to be used in the Navigator and V-Raptor models.

The spring was located on the right side of the bike and employed a rotary style rear damper that provided its damping characteristics through rotating arms.
