Wait a minute. It seems to me that there are two tracks here.
If you experience cutouts you can take your bike to the dealer and have them fix it under warrantee. It looks like several forum members did this and got good results. It did take Suzuki time to figure out what the problem is, so early fix attempts by the dealers failed because the dealers didn't have a clue. Now they know what the problem is and how to fix it.
The other track is a safety recall. This is a complicated and tricky process, with ambulance chasers and the competition watching every move Suzuki makes. When a recall is issued it will probably include a warning not to ride the bike until the recall work is done. (The 98 R1 clutch recall had this warning.)
Since the cutouts are intermittant I would think that any Hayabusa owner could claim it happened to their bike and get the filter work done under warrantee. It would be very hard for a dealer to prove otherwise, and there's no point to it. Why wait?
