What owners say
The motorcycle ran great but always made a grinding noise when shifting into second gear. Near the end of my first year of ownership it started slipping out of second gear into neutral under load. The first time it happened to me under acceleration in traffic. I was told by the dealer that second gear had not fully engaged and that I have to "shift harder" to fully engage second. Over time it began happening more frequently and under less loads. I didn't have any money to pay for somebody to look at it, so I held off and started just skipping second altogether and shifting it to third from first. After some investigation into my issue, I have found many people have had the same issue. Be aware that the suzuki m109r second gear could quit on you. It's going to cost me about $3500 to get mine fixed. Suzuki is not offering me any good will.
