2007 Suzuki Boulevard M109R

I BOUGHT A 07 SUZUKI BOULEVARD LAST SUMMER I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION COMING OUT OF 2ND GEAR AND GOING INTO NEUTRAL THIS HAPPENED TO ME TURNING LEFT INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL MOMENTUM ALMOST GETTING T-BONED WITH ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND EXPECTING A BABY SOON I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE KILLED FROM A COMPANY NOT WANTING TO FIX A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY PERSONAL 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R HAS EXPERIENCED 2ND GEAR FAILURE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHEN ROLLING THROUGH A YIELD SIGN WHILE IN SECOND GEAR. THE BIKE WAS UNDER ACCELERATION AFTER THE CORNER AND IT LOST SECOND GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. AS THE BIKE REVS UP YOU ARE NO LONGER SAFELY ABLE TO SHIFT WITHOUT CAUSING MORE DAMAGE SO YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND HOPE NO ONE IS COMING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALER HAS IN FACT BEEN CONTACTED ALONG WITH SUZUKI AND THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME... THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR SAFETY RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER CAN GET PARTS AT AN EXPENSE I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE TO CONTINUE TO RIDE THE BIKE SAFELY. MAKE THE ROADS SAFER BY CORRECTING THE FAULTY PART. *TR

2007 2ND GEAR ISSUE.. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS HAVE WITH MY 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING OUT OF GEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE TO ME AND MY MOTORCYCLE WAS PURCHASED NEW OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. IT HAS LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. I'VE READ THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN PUT OFF BY SUZUKI. IN MY OPINION A $13,000 MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ISSUES OF THIS NATURE. IT'S TIME THAT SUZUKI DOES SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE LOSS OF LIFE, IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY. IT IS TIME THEY ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP. I'M LISTING THE DATE OF AUG. 24, 2007 BECAUSE THIS IS THE APPROX. TIME I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE. *TR

2007 SUZUKI M109R LE MOTORCYCLE 9300 MILES 2ND GEAR POPPING OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. GEAR ALSO SLIPS WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS IS DUE TO A BENT SHIFT FORK WHICH IS DAMAGING THE GEAR. FAULTY MANUFACTURING ON THE PART OF SUZUKI. LOCAL DEALER QUOTED AROUND $3000 TO REPAIR. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. SUZUKI HAD SUPERSEDED THE FAULTY PART WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109 R. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT ABNORMALLY HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND WITH A SIMILAR FEELING TO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FAILURE POTENTIALLY CAUSING A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.
