“I was riding with my bike group. We stopped at a major intersection waiting for the light to change. On the green light I accelerated and was almost hit in the rear buy a pick up truck do to the fact my 2nd gear slipped into neutral. I thought it was an isolated issue. It was not, my bike slips out of 2nd into neutral continuously. This is a major issue when you are trying to get in the flow of traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I spoke with several dealerships and the response was the same ( the m109r is known for that) why won t Suzuki recall or fix this issue. This s%#t is not fair!!!!!!!!! . …”

Also when making long turns and the bike drops into neutral , its possible to fall or drop the bike do to instant deceleration.”
