Consumer Description

THIS IS A SECOND GEAR ISSUE. THE BIKE HAS ALWAYS HAD A BAD MESHING PROBLEM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AS DOES ALL OF THE SUZUKI M109R BIKES. MY BIKE REALLY STARTED GETTING WORSE AT TOWARDS THE END OF 2010 AND FINALLY STARTED JUMPING OUT OF SECOND GEAR AT THE END OF SEPT., 2010. IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT HAPPENS ANYTIME A LOAD IS PUT ON THE ENGINE IN SECOND GEAR WHICH EFFECTS THE ACCELERATION OF THE BIKE. THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE IF THE BIKE IS CONTINUALLY RIDDEN WHICH AFFECTS MY TIME ON THE BIKE AND TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN $2500-$3000. *TR
