“I bought a '08 c90 boulevard from a Suzuki dealer brand new in 2009 and from the first ride there was a horrible wobble upon deceleration starting at approximately at 30 MPH. I took the bike back to the dealer to have this problem looked at and the dealer test drove the bike and he insisted this problem was due to my weight (350lbs) and he state he felt no wobble. This went on for two years. After joining the delfi c90 forum I was alerted to the fact that my shb's were bad and this was happening to hundreds of others with the c90 from years '04 to present and on brand new bikes as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #10421908, filed 2011-08, 1 miles“The contact owns a 2008 Suzuki c90t. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH the vehicle started to vibrate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who decided to replace the wheel bearings. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance and advised the contact not to take his hands off the handle bars since it would prevent him from noticing the vibration. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 14,000 and the current mileage was 15,500.”
