I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI M109R MOTORCYCLE. THE CLUTCH CHATTERS WHEN ENGAGING INTO GEAR & PULLING OFF FROM A STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN TRAFFIC, THE BIKE WILL BUCK WILDLY AS YOU TRY TO PULL OFF. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP TO MY DEALER BUT HE SAYS THE BIKE IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TORQUE MOTOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. I BELIEVE THE CLUTCH IS DESIGNED POORLY. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY REAR BRAKE ROTOR AS IT CAME VERY LOOSE & WOULD MAKE A SCREECHING SOUND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THIS IS NORMAL & THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. AFTER ARGUING & BEING PERSISTED. THEY REPLACED THE ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY BUT DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK ON THE WORK THAT WAS DONE. *TR
