“My Suzuki m109r 2007. 9k miles start having 2nd gear problem. Lound clunky sound and missed shifting 2nd gears. I'm scared to end up I'm the middle of the road . I'm at the stoplight 1st gear ok and once I hit my 2nd gears I suddenly slow down and down or up shift trying to figure out how to speed up again while car behind me honking at me like carzy”
NHTSA complaint #11124075, filed 2018-09, 5 miles“2nd gear transmission issue. As I pulled off from a green light in the city I moved into 2nd gear and the bike lost power like it wasn't in gear and then it launched itself and I almost hit the car in front of me. When I went to 3rd and 4th gear everything was fine until I had to go into 2nd gear it would pop out of gear.”
NHTSA complaint #11081073, filed 2018-03, 5 miles“My motorcycle has failed to go into gear and has came out of gear on some occasions putting my life and others in danger! I believe that the manufacture should be held accountable to fix said issue. I have taken my motorcycle to the dealer and have gotten no where they said im not shifting hard enough! I know people who are having this issue with the same model.”
NHTSA complaint #10405760, filed 2011-06, 2,500 miles“I bought a 07 Suzuki boulevard last summer I am having an issue with the transmission coming out of 2nd gear and going into neutral this happened to me turning left into my apartment complex causing me to lose all momentum almost getting t-boned with me and my girlfriend expecting a baby soon I can't afford to be killed from a company not wanting to fix a major safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10398843, filed 2011-05, 10,900 miles“Turning a corner in second gear and all of a sudden it popped out into neutral. Because I was leaning with the bike it dropped to the ground and hit the exhaust. Luckily I was able to straighten it out before dropping it. This bike has progressively gotten worse and now I don't even ride it. Suzuki dropped the ball on this bike's transmission. There are many reports of the same issue. Do not buy one.”
