My 2006 suzuki m109r had been jumping out of 2nd gear, into neutral when I accelerate, and the rear wheel locked up after that, which put me into a 150' skid on the highway, which was very unsafe, and I could have easily died as a result of this serious, re-occurring mechanical failure that suzuki does not want to be responsible for. Suzuki needs to be responsible for covering these common, unacceptable, high-risk safety problems, before others are injured, or killed, and then they get sued for it. This is a very dangerous situation, and it cannot be taken lightly, if you are a suzuki m109r…

I have a 2006 m109r that has a major defect in the powertrain. This bike only have a little over 5,000 miles on it and it tends to fall out of second gear back into neutral. This is very unsafe and could very well cause you to loose control of the bike. There has been a number of people that I have come across with the same issue. Suzuki needs to address a recall concerning this issue before someone gets hurt or killed. This will be the last of any suzuki product that I will ever purchase for now or the near future because they or not standing behind there brand even if it is a risk to many…

Purchased the bike in late june with less than 1800 miles. Got a vibration feel & small tapping noise a couple days later. Took back to dealer & they didn't feel it or hear it.

It needs the motor rebuilt with pistons, rods & crank. They had done the turn up & changed the oil before we picked it up after purchase and they didn't seem to see any problems then. Don't know how it could need the motor rebuilt with less than 2500…

The bike would jump horribly when in second gear. After about a hundred miles riding like this, now the bike will jump into neutral while I'm riding in second gear; very dangerous. This problem has been reported by hundreds, if not thousands, of suzuki m109r riders. Suzuki should pay for this now!
