2006 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

MY 2006 SUZUKI M109R HAD BEEN JUMPING OUT OF 2ND GEAR, INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I ACCELERATE, AND THE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP AFTER THAT, WHICH PUT ME INTO A 150' SKID ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH WAS VERY UNSAFE, AND I COULD HAVE EASILY DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS SERIOUS, RE-OCCURRING MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT SUZUKI DOES NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. SUZUKI NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THESE COMMON, UNACCEPTABLE, HIGH-RISK SAFETY PROBLEMS, BEFORE OTHERS ARE INJURED, OR KILLED, AND THEN THEY GET SUED FOR IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND IT CANNOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, IF YOU ARE A SUZUKI M109R OWNER, WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER, AND HOLD SUZUKI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN. THE SUZUKI M109R HAS A LOT OF TORQUE, AND POWER, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A MORE ROBUST, HEAVY DUTY TRANSMISSION, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE, BUT IT WAS NOT, AND SUZUKI NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM RESPONSIBLY. ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS 150' SKID MARK.

I HAVE A 2006 M109R THAT HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE POWERTRAIN. THIS BIKE ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 5,000 MILES ON IT AND IT TENDS TO FALL OUT OF SECOND GEAR BACK INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD VERY WELL CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE BIKE. THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SUZUKI NEEDS TO ADDRESS A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THIS WILL BE THE LAST OF ANY SUZUKI PRODUCT THAT I WILL EVER PURCHASE FOR NOW OR THE NEAR FUTURE BECAUSE THEY OR NOT STANDING BEHIND THERE BRAND EVEN IF IT IS A RISK TO MANY PEOPLE LIVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TRANSMISSION FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, MY SECOND GEAR DOES NOT STAY ENGAGED , AS SOON AS I SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AND ACCELERATE IT GOES BACK INTO NEUTRAL, I ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN, NO SECOND GEAR, APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER WHO'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ON MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS AND LOCAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL MOTORCYCLE AS MINE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO THIRD GEAR, NOT TO MENTION THE WEAR AND THE STRESS IT PUTS ON THE MOTORCYCLE AND POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE MECHANICAL ISSUES.

WHEN RIDING ON THIS MOTORCYCLE IT WILL JUMP OUT OF 2 GEAR IT CAN MAKE YOU GO DOWN. *TR
