What owners wrote
Was stopped at a red light. When light turned green I went to first gear then second. While trying to go to third it slipped out of gear and a car hit me from behind.
2007 suzuki m109r (vzr1800) le after shifting into 2nd gear, and accelerating, the motorcycle seems to be missing the gear or slipping the gear. This causes the motorcycle to shake violently and cause the rider to almost lose control. After doing research, this seems to be a known issue with these bikes for having faulty shift forks. Suzuki needs to step up and fix this issue as this can be extremely dangerous.
