“I recently took a ride on my 2006 Suzuki m109r and the transmission kept slipping in and out of 1st-4th gears while I was accelerating. If I accelerated very slowly this wouldn't happen so I rode home slowly. Last friday the 20th of may 2011 I was changing my oil on my motorcycle and before lowering the lift to clean up I noticed the rear swing arm was cracked in 2 places. It is cracked near the mounting flange for the rear differential. I was not riding when it broke. …”
