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
