I started to experience what the other owners of the suzuki boulevard m109r's are calling clutch shudder. The symptom is when one is stopped and beginning to accelerate. The clutch does not engage right away. Feels like it is stuck so it barely gets a gold of the plates causing one of two things to happen. 1. You release the clutch too much and it loosens too quickly causing the bike to shut off while stopped. 2.

The rear tire locked up as I was stopping at a red light. Luckily I was not going at highyway speed, because I would have been seriously injured or killed. I contacted suzuki and all I got was the run around. I did research and found the this problem has been occuring since the boulevard came out in 2007.

I told them I just brought the bike and only had 2,500 miles on the bike and there should be no way the bike should be causing me problems with the low mileage on the bike. Well after 1 1/2…
