2007 Suzuki VZR1800 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 60 of 60, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Clutch violently shutters and make the motorcycle stall. When stopped at a light the bike wants to take off by itself. This happen almost everytime. Suzuki claims it never happens,but is now a very common complaint among owners.
I have a 2007 suzuki m109r motorcycle. The clutch chatters when engaging into gear & pulling off from a stop. This is very dangerous because in traffic, the bike will buck wildly as you try to pull off. This issue was brought up to my dealer but he says the bike is supposed to do this because of the high torque motor. I do not believe this. I believe the clutch is designed poorly. I also had a problem with my rear brake rotor as it came very loose & would make a screeching sound as I applied the brakes. The dealer also said this is normal & that nothing was wrong with it. After arguing & being persisted. They replaced the rotor under warranty but did not give me any paperwork on the work that was done.
My 2007 suzuki m109r when I take off when. I have had to react fast I let out the clutch and the bike has had a violent shake and bang rumble and at an idle you can here alot of clutch noise you pull the clutch in and it gets quiet.
2007 suzuki m109r 1. Clutch failure to engage - violent shutter when accelerating from standing start 2. Rear brake rotor loose.
Brand new motorcycle with 500 miles on it. Clutch or tranny is not right. Dealer says it's fine, but it shifts like a mack truck. Rear brake rotor is so loose, it almost wiggles a quarter of an inch either way. Still battling suzuki, or at least my dealer over the shifting and rear brake problem.
2,000 miles on the motorcycle and the clutch is slipping.
Rear rotor failure( replaced at my expense) clutch problems( dealer says they will not warranty).
Clutch vibrates tremendously and feels unsafe.
It's been two weeks since I took my bike to the dealer for the fuel rail recall and since then I've experienced the "clutch judder/rear wheel jump when releasing clutch" twice! And last night I'm at a stop light in 1st gear. I take off and try to shift into 2nd gear with no luck. The shifter was stuck in 1st gear! Luckily I was in the far right lane so I pulled over and hit the kill switch. I tried everything I could think of to get the bike into neutral, I rocked it back and forth and still couldn't get it out of 1st gear. So I pulled in the clutch and started the bike. With the clutch still pulled in the bike starts to move! So I hit the kill switch again. Finally, I decided to drive it in 1st gear and get off the side of the road. So I started the bike in 1st gear, eased off the clutch and rode about a block to a parking lot. While in the parking lot I was finally able to get the bike into neutral. Once that happened it seemed to be shifting fine. So I headed back home which was about 7-8 miles away. It shifted fine and drove fine all the way home. I pulled into my driveway and hit my garage door opener and pulled into the garage. Pulled in the clutch and tried to shift into neutral and it's stuck again! Well, it turns out my clutch hub nut backed off. The dealer said that the plates were not damaged and that they were waiting on a new nut and basket from suzuki. I asked him if this was something that I have to look forward to every 3500 miles and he said that he thinks the hub nuts were not tightened properly when originally assembled.
Harsh vibration of motorcycle drive line and noise in clutch area through all gears at approximately 2800 RPM to 4200 RPM and especially during incline climbing on interstate highways when engine RPM is increased to pickup added load from incline. There is also a noise during idle with clutch released and in neutral coming from clutch housing area.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 suzuki m109r (na). While driving in first gear from 0 to start and sometimes when in second gear, the clutch begins bumping, jumping, and vibrating violently. The contact called the dealer twice for this failure. On one occasion, the dealer test drove the vehicle, but could not duplicate the failure. The current mileage was 3,100 and failure mileage was 2,500.
When I let out my clutch lever the bike jumps up and down and does not go forward this has happens about every 4 times that I let out on the clutch.
While riding my suzuki m109 motorcycle the clutch would not engage. As I squeeze the clutch the bike just jerk forward and cut off. There was tension on the cable but the clutch will not engage. Hear a spinning sound coming from the right side. This has happen to great number of bikes. It appear that the tube nut in the clutch came loose this is a internal nut that is not serviceable. Its apparent that this safety issue is caused by the manufacture. I own this bike for one year and 24 days and have 5400 miles on it. If you look at the m109riders.com web sit you will see how many people had this safety concern. If I did not get off the highway in time I would not be writing this complain please have suzuki do a safety recall before someone dies from this failure. Thanks you.

I have a brand new (suzuki m109) I take care of this bike like a baby on time services, no speeding trying to take good care of it because me and my lady felt in love with it, after 4 months of use and several trips to the shop the transmission goes, take it to the dealer a week later they tell me that the 2nd gear fork is bent and there's going to be a charge of $2,500 on the owner and I said how can it be possible when is a brand new bike they said there's no defect on the parts that it was the owner mishandling it, I said no way , not even the corp is going to take care of this problem? So I call some people and got to fill out a consumer protection form and we got a hearing coming soon. Last time I talk to the dealer they said come and get it in a box and I said I dint pay $13,000 for a bike in a box the bike is in the dealer since 10/2007 so I hope this info could help me and other people that are having the same problems with the same bikes....go to www.m109riders.com, and click on shop talk thank you for all your help.
The gear box in my brand new suzuki m109 with only 4,000 miles on it, failed. It shifted automatically from 2nd to neutral while I was riding!! The dealer and suzuki refused to repair it under my warranty, which is for unlimited miles, up to a year. I had the 2007 bike for only 6 months.
Clutch engagement issues with new suzuki m109r.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2007 aprilia sxv450 motorcycle. While driving 70 MPH the contact heard a loud rattling sound coming from the engine. The vehicle popped out of gear, the contact down shifted to fourth gear, which caused the back wheel to lock. The back wheel unlocked, and then locked again. The dealer stated that the failure was due a lack of oil in the transmission. The dealer advised the contact that they would not cover the repair under warranty. The manufacturer's customer care department stated that if the dealer denied the claim that no one at the company would not be able to assist him. The vehicle currently has 830 miles.
