2007 Suzuki VZR1800 Brakes Problems

“Rear brake rotor is a two part semi-floating disc brake rotor. Outer ring of rear brake rotor, where brake pads engage on the disc, has become progressively loose from the carrier unit over time. During the 7500 mile service the technician instructed me to warranty claim the rotor for replacement. Dealer has ordered part and told me that it would be covered under warranty. Please note that the replacement rotor is a different part number than what is on bike as delivered from the dealer for this model year. …”

“In may of '08 I brought the motorcycle to pick up oil for the 6000 km oil change. I informed the dealer that the rear disk was loose. Did not have it replaced at this time because the movement was marginal. The dealer stated that if it got any worse we should look into it. Checked the brake yesterday and realized that there is more movement forward and backward as well as side to side and up and down. Suzuki has a new rotor that has a part number superseding the originally installed part number on the bike. …”

“My 2007 Suzuki boulevard m109r has developed a loose rear brake rotor. This is a two piece rotor design that has a series of rivets connecting the inner rotor hub to the outer rotor braking surface. The rotor not only allows excessive lateral movement (along the axis of rotation), but also allows for rotational movement (about the axis of rotation) of approximately .050 inch.”

“I have a 2007 Suzuki m109r motorcycle with 10,000 miles on it and have had a problem with rear brake disc rivets coming loose and have replaced it only to have the same problem again. Im afraid that some day they may fail completely.”

“2007 Suzuki m109r motorcycle. 3500 miles, constant problems with clutch grabbing and gear engagement making bike difficult to ride safely. Rear brake rotor loose with no way to tighten other than replacement.”
