Consumer Description

I HAVE A SUZUKI BLVD M109R I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SECOND GEAR JUMPING OUT OF GEAR SUDDENLY. I AM RIDING ALONG AND THE BIKE WILL START TO SLOW DOWN WHILE I AM TWISTING THE THROTTLE FOR THE BIKE TO ACCELERATE. SUZUKI CLAIMS THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE BIKE BUT I HAVE SEEN THE DAMAGE THAT CAN BE DONE TO THE TRANNY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR OR SO, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION!!!! *TR
