2009: “The vehicle I am reporting is a 2009 Suzuki burgman 650 scooter. It is the largest scooter sold in the country and is often used as a touring bike. The bike has 8500 miles so it is fairly new. On saturday, april 2nd, 2011, I was riding on a secluded road, except for traffic, from galveston texas to freeport texas. I was about 80 miles from home. It's a two lane road with no shoulder and drainage ditch on each side of the road. Traveling at 60 MPH, I started to feel a loss of power, then the engine began to miss out and without any other notice, the engine died. …”

It seems to happen about every 12 to 15k miles; with the exception of this last time it happened at about 5k. The scooter doesn't shift out of second gear. It first starts with intermittent gear shifting problems then gets severe and stays in first or second. I've had it in the shop 3 times now in just over one year. Every time its been in the shop, its been there for on average at least 2 months. The longest the bike has been in the shop was for three months. …”
