Power Train · reported Jun 15, 2026

I got on the highway going to [XXX] on [XXX]. When I merged into traffic I almost got hit from behind because the Suzuki M109R slipped out of second gear. Fortunately the driver of the dump truck behind me noticed that I was not speeding up and he slammed on the brakes saving my life.

I wish I had read up more on the thousands of threads about this same type problem with this bike before I purchase

Major loss of power to the ground. Mainly in second gear if I open the throttle to anything above say 20% twist of the wrist the rpms go up but bike wont gain speed while already driving. Clutch does not show signs of burning up and all seems normal there. Ive adjusted it per suzuki's manual and followed their updated method via service bulletin the next time I made adjustment.
