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.

PURCHASED THE BIKE IN LATE JUNE WITH LESS THAN 1800 MILES. GOT A VIBRATION FEEL & SMALL TAPPING NOISE A COUPLE DAYS LATER. TOOK BACK TO DEALER & THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT OR HEAR IT. THEN IN SEPT WENT FOR A SHORT RIDE WITH A FRIEND & IT STARTED KNOCKING & TRYING TO STALL OUT. CALLED THE DEALER & WITH LOTS OF PROBLEMS FINALLY GOT THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT. IT NEEDS THE MOTOR REBUILT WITH PISTONS, RODS & CRANK. THEY HAD DONE THE TURN UP & CHANGED THE OIL BEFORE WE PICKED IT UP AFTER PURCHASE AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO SEE ANY PROBLEMS THEN. DON'T KNOW HOW IT COULD NEED THE MOTOR REBUILT WITH LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT. THE MOTOR ISN'T EVEN BROKE IN YET. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS? I AM HAVING TO SHELL OUT $3500 FOR REPAIRS I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD AND AREN'T MY FAULT. *TR
