Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Suzuki boulevard m109r year 2008. The motorcycle would violently shake when leaving from a complete stop. Though it is not very consistent. It only happens once in a while. It happened again at 7/11/08 when my girlfriend was riding with me, and I fear for her safety as the motorcycle is not very responsive when this defect happens. I've taken the motorcycle to the dealer and they reported that they couldn't recreate the problem. This problem is consistent for this model according to the members of m109riders.com, they reported that it is a clutch hub defect and that the springs in the hub is not sufficient for the motors power. I truly am concerned about this problem escalating because of safety. The ability of the motorcycle to respond when needed is critical to the riders safety.
