“Riding my Suzuki burgman 2003 on 405 fwy n/b and culver ave. I had a transmission failure because of a sudden slowdown in speed from 65 MPH and slower, I was almost hit from behind by a car. I could hear the tires screeching behind me. A dangerous situation as this one, could lead to death or serious injury to anyone because of a malfunction in the motorcycle. This problem is occurring with all burgman models because it is a factory design defect. I was close to death or serious injury. Suzuki is compromising the safety on all roads for riders. …”

“This has to do with american Suzuki motorcycle. I have written a letter to the president of america Suzuki motorcycle mac kato. This is a CVT transmission safety issue to me. I have 2003 an 650 burgman. I was riding the bike and all of a sudden I had engine power but wasn't going anywhere. I'm glad I was on the city streets and not on the highway. If this would have happened in the hov lanes I don't know what I would have of done! If I had been in the regular lanes of freeway that I ride on every day I might not have made it to the side in one piece. …”
