I WAS RIDING WITH MY BIKE GROUP. WE STOPPED AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. ON THE GREEN LIGHT I ACCELERATED AND WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR BUY A PICK UP TRUCK DO TO THE FACT MY 2ND GEAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED ISSUE. IT WAS NOT, MY BIKE SLIPS OUT OF 2ND INTO NEUTRAL CONTINUOUSLY. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THE RESPONSE WAS THE SAME ( THE M109R IS KNOWN FOR THAT) WHY WON"T SUZUKI RECALL OR FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS S%#T IS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!! . I WOULD EVEN PAY HALF BUT NOT ALL. IF I CANT GET IT FIX FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT , I WILL GET RID OF IT AND BUY ME A BIKE THAT THE COMPANY STANDS BEHIND. MY WIFE IS ALSO IS IN THE MARKET FOR A BIKE.

AT ABOUT 9500 MILES, MY BIKE STARTED FALLING BACK INTO NEUTRAL FROM 2ND GEAR. WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD, BEING THAT 2ND GEAR BRINGS YOU UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. ALSO WHEN MAKING LONG TURNS AND THE BIKE DROPS INTO NEUTRAL , ITS POSSIBLE TO FALL OR DROP THE BIKE DO TO INSTANT DECELERATION. *TR
