While leaving work I was shifting out of 1st gear and while going into second gear the bike popped out of second gear and made a loud grinding noise. After it popped out of gear I had to put my foot down in order to keep from falling over cause I was in the middle of a turn when this happened. When I put my foot down I twisted my knee.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling at various speeds the vehicle stalled four times. The vehicle did not restart was towed to the dealership each time. The dealership replaced the gas cap in an attempt to repair the problem, but the problem persisted. The vehicle was a 2006 suzuki m109r.
I began noticing a strong odor of gasoline around my suzuki m109r motorcycle and could not find the cause of the strong odor. I started the motorcycle in my garage to let it warm up and went inside my home to retrieve a jacket so I could go riding. When I returned several minutes later the odor of gasoline was extremely strong and I noticed a large puddle of gas had formed on the ground under motorcycle.
My rear brake rotor is very lose almost to the point of falling off. My bike only had 4500 miles at the time I first noticed it.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 suzuki m109r motorcycle. While idling at a stop light, oil spontaneously began spooling out of the rear of the vehicle. As the contact attempted to accelerate, the rear tire began spinning out of control because it was saturated in oil. He took the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not determine the cause of the excessive oil loss. Immediately after the inspection, while driving at an unknown speed, the failure recurred.
