Consumer Description

I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE WHAT THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R'S ARE CALLING CLUTCH SHUDDER. THE SYMPTOM IS WHEN ONE IS STOPPED AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. THE CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY. FEELS LIKE IT IS STUCK SO IT BARELY GETS A GOLD OF THE PLATES CAUSING ONE OF TWO THINGS TO HAPPEN. 1. YOU RELEASE THE CLUTCH TOO MUCH AND IT LOOSENS TOO QUICKLY CAUSING THE BIKE TO SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED. 2. THE CLUTCH BARELY ENGAGES CAUSING A VIOLENT VIBRATION SIMILAR TO WHAT A STANDARD CAR COULD DO IF THE CLUTCH ISN'T ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED CORRECTLY. AFTER THE VIOLENT "CLUTCH SHUDDER" THE BIKE MAY TURN OFF IN TRAFFIC OR GET ENOUGH SPEED TO ENGAGE INTO 2ND GEAR. AT THIS POINT EVERYTHING WORKS WELL. SUZUKI WILL ONLY FIX THIS IF THE MOTORCYCLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE PART IS NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. IT HAS GONE FROM A FLAT WASHER TO A WAVY WASHER. THEY MUST HAVE CHANGED THE PART BECAUSE THEY KNOW PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR
