2007 Suzuki VZR1800

In late 2020 while in a turn on the interstate while in 2nd gear the motorcycle jolted like it slipped on ice. The second time it happened is when I attempted to accelerate to 3rd gear the bike shuddered like it was not getting gas. Not being able to provide gas caused the vehicles behind me to swerve into the other lane. After 8 months of the bike sitting at another Suzuki dealer because they said they had to rip out the engine I towed the bike to a dealer over 700 miles away. That dealer said it was the clutch plates. They replaced the entire clutch system at my cost and the problem remained immediately upon picking up the bike. The same dealer now says it’s the gears and they have to replace them which means approximately another month at the dealer. The bike had not been inspected by any other agency. There were no warning lights of any kind. The RPMs never changed when the issue occurred. I called USA Suzuki and they said they’ll call me back. They never did. I will now have to get an attorney because Suzuki has a failed mechanical part they claimed they fixed years prior but the same thing is happening with the new models.

I ALMOST DROPPED MY BIKE TODAY EXPECTING TO ACCELERATE INTO A TURN WITH NO SPEED WHILE THE BIKE IS JUMPING VIOLENTLY. WHEN RELEASING THE CLUTCH THE BIKE JUMPS VIOLENTLY AND MAKE SIT HARD TO CONTROL AND TAKE OFF AND IN RESULT BLOCKING TRAFFIC FALLING OFF BIKE AND POSSIBLE GETTING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC..THIS CAN CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AND MOST LIKELY DEATH ON A MOTORCYCLE. IT RENDERS THE VEHICLE ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE. CONTACTED SUZUKI AND THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT. I TOLD THE PERSON ON THE PHONE THAT THERE IS A SITE THAT HAS HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE AND HE SAID THAT WE SELL THOUSANDS OF THESE BIKES AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND HE CAN NOT GO BY WHAT'S PUT ON THE INTERNET. I SUGGEST WE ALL CALL SUZUKI AND GIVE THE VIN NUMBERS AND MAKE THIS A REAL ISSUE. *TR
