Consumer Description

I RIDE A 2006 SUZUKI M109R 1800CC MOTORCYCLE AND TWO DAYS AGO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. IT HAS SLIPPED OUT OF EVERY GEAR EXCEPT FIFTH WHEN APPLYING MEDIUM AMOUNT OF THROTTLE. IT HAPPENED WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT. I WAS BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES SO I WAS NOT RACING THE ENGINE WHEN SHIFTING. I HAD TO NEGOTIATE MY BIKE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC FROM THE FAST LANE IN NEUTRAL. WITH THE DRIVERS NOWADAYS TAILGATING YOU TO GET TO THE LATEST NEW STORE OPENING HAVING A MOTORCYCLE COMPLETELY SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE EVERY OTHER VEHICLE AROUND YOU IS ACCELERATING IS DANGEROUS. I HAD THREE CARS NEARLY SIDESWIPE ME WHILE COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SCARY. YOU BET. I THINK WITH LESS THAN 4100 MILES SUZUKI NEEDS TO RETHINK THEIR QUALITY ISSUES WITH M109R TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. I AM SURE A RECALL WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN LITIGATION FOR A DEATH. *TR
