Just putting it out there, has anybody had any issues with major mechanical breakdowns due to gearbox problems, apparently, the m109r has an issue with second gear which suzuki has been replacing at random. My issue with my bike specifically is that it has been crunching in second gear since new. When i asked suzuki about this issue, they said it was normal for them to do this in second gear, so i didn't worry about it,
The issue is two weeks ago i was riding along a highway towards Woolongong along the coast road with my girlfriend on the back at about 110km and the bike just decided to just totally lock up which caused us to skid uncontrollably luckily the road was a straight road and there were no other cars around.
Apparently something broke in the gearbox which cracked the top and bottom housings of the engine... so it appears that i am up for $7000-$8000 in repairs and a majority of that is in parts...... now my bike is a C109R which has only 17000 klm and i mainly only ride it on weekends... the bike is only 12 months out of warranty, there are no engine modifications that have been done apart from the Cobra pipes and hyper charges all of which were fitted at Suzuki.
I would just like to know has anybody had any issues with their boulevards or is this something that might be an issue after the bikes reach a certain amount of km.
