2011 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

I BOUGHT 2 METZELER MARATHON ME880 TIRES IN MARCH 2017 (300/35/18)(280/35/18). BOTH TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES AND ARE CRACKING AT THE SIDEWALL. CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES AND ARE GETTING DEEPER. BOTH TIRES HAVE A MANUFACTURING DATE OF 2015. HERE IS A LINK TO A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/1871227146536817/ THANK YOU

SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN UP-SHIFTING LOUD CLASH SOUND WHILE IN MOTION DOES THIS ALL THE TIME EVERY SHIFT. I DONT WANT TO BE REARENDED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT

I BOUGHT MY MOTORCYCLE A SUZUKI BOULEVARD M10R LIMITED 2011LIMITED NEW ON MARCH 2012. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. ON APRIL 18, 2015 I WAS RIDING FOR ABOUT A HOUR EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL I MERGED TO A MAIN HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED THE LOSS OF POWER AT 55 MPH . WAS STUCK IN THE A CENTER LINE WHERE CARS ARE GOING UP 70 MILES. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR BUT THE BIKE WAS LOOSING POWER RAPIDLY IT WAS NOT GOING FASTER THAN 40 MPH. I TRIED SHIFTING UP AND STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING . I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD . THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE CUTOFF AS SOON I BRAKED. I TOOK THE BIKE TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE CLUTCH AND THE CLUTCH BASKET WERE GONE DUE TO LOOSENING BOLTS. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR THE CAUSE AND I DISCOVERED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN SUZUKI WILL FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME AROUND $1500.00. *TR

THE MOTORCYCLE IS VERY HARD TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THE CLUTCH IS ADJUSTED CORRECTLY. I WAS EVEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SUZUKI M109R CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTING PROBLEM SOMETIMES I AM AFRAID THAT A CAR BEHIND ME WILL REAR END ME AS IT IS SO HARD TO SHIFT FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR AND THAN THE MOTORCYCLE WILL SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTION I DISCOVERED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. DOES SOMEBODY NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS FIXED? *TR
