Suzuki boulevard 2007, m109r. Shifting gears becomes very difficult over time and then as it increases the gears then pop out of drive and lose the ability to engage . When driving on the highway it's especially dangerous to lose that function as I found , I was rear ended. This trying to place back in gear damages the clutch and universal and main drive gear.
