NHTSA Complaint #10355752 — 2008 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R

INTERMITTENT CLUTCH SHUDDER, THIS OCCURS AT RANDOM BUT MOST PREDICTABLE ON FIRST TAKE OFF AFTER ENGINE WARM UP. IT IS A VIOLENT SHUDDER OF THE ENTIRE BIKE AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL WILL TAKING OFF AND WRECKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE. BY READING ONLINE FORUMS, WAY TO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR IT NOT TO BE A RECALL. SUZUKI DOES NOT RECOGNIZE AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM AND PROVIDES NO ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE EXPLORATORY MAINTENANCE PERFORMED SO THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED ON MY BIKE. I PERSONALLY FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM AN A.S.E. MASTER CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AND HAVE WORKED FOR A FLEET OF VEHICLES BOTH AS A MECHANIC AND NOW IN ADMINISTRATION FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS. *TR
