What owners wrote
Adjusted clutch several times per owners manual. Seems the cable is stretching or nut holding clutch basket is loosening up. Clutch slipping when throttling up in 2nd and 3rd gear. Calling suzuki.
Leaving a traffic light, accelerating thur first gear going to second gear, it will pop out of second gear and go into nuetrel. And now I have traffic running over my back. Very scary.
