2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN SECOND GEAR WHEN THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE SECOND GEAR SYNCHRONIZER WAS REPLACED. THREE YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, A SIMILAR MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE REPEATED FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

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. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 SUZUKI M109R MOTORCYCLE THAT REPEATEDLY POPS OUT OF SECOND GEAR UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF LACK OF POWER. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE AND SUZUKI FAILS TO STAND BEHIND THE REPAIR. *TR

CLUTCH PLATES SHUDDER ON MY SUZUKI 2007 M109R MOTORCYCLE, WHEN STARTING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP AND RELEASING THE CLUTCH. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT IS SCARRRY WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE BIKE DOES NOT ACCELERATE CORRECTLY WITH THE CLUTCH SLIPPAGE. THE BIKE HAS ONLY 4000 MILES OF USAGE. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER M109R RIDERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND SUZUKI IS DENYING THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. *TR

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. *TR

MY PERSONAL 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD M109R HAS EXPERIENCED 2ND GEAR FAILURE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHEN ROLLING THROUGH A YIELD SIGN WHILE IN SECOND GEAR. THE BIKE WAS UNDER ACCELERATION AFTER THE CORNER AND IT LOST SECOND GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. AS THE BIKE REVS UP YOU ARE NO LONGER SAFELY ABLE TO SHIFT WITHOUT CAUSING MORE DAMAGE SO YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND HOPE NO ONE IS COMING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALER HAS IN FACT BEEN CONTACTED ALONG WITH SUZUKI AND THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME... THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR SAFETY RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER CAN GET PARTS AT AN EXPENSE I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE TO CONTINUE TO RIDE THE BIKE SAFELY. MAKE THE ROADS SAFER BY CORRECTING THE FAULTY PART. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON RED, MY MOTORCYCLE SLIPPED OUT OF SECOND GEAR AND I LOST ACCELERATION AT A VERY RAPID PACE. THIS NEARLY CAUSE ME TO BE REAR-ENDED BY A CAR TO MY REAR. *TR

2007 2ND GEAR ISSUE.. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS HAVE WITH MY 2007 SUZUKI BOULEVARD. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING OUT OF GEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE TO ME AND MY MOTORCYCLE WAS PURCHASED NEW OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. IT HAS LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY I BROUGHT IT HOME. I'VE READ THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN PUT OFF BY SUZUKI. IN MY OPINION A $13,000 MOTORCYCLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ISSUES OF THIS NATURE. IT'S TIME THAT SUZUKI DOES SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE LOSS OF LIFE, IF IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ALREADY. IT IS TIME THEY ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP. I'M LISTING THE DATE OF AUG. 24, 2007 BECAUSE THIS IS THE APPROX. TIME I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE. *TR
