AFTER 300 MILES THE FORK STARTED POPPING AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST (POSSIBLY SECOND GEAR),THIRD GEAR AND NEUTRA, MOTORCYCLE SHUTS OFF OR STOPS RANDOMLY. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 IN ATLANTA WHICH WAS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT I CAN NOT GET SUZUKI TO RESPOND TO ME AS TO WHAT AND WHEN THEY WILL COVER IN REPAIRING MY 9 MONTH OLD SUZUKI HAYABUSA. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SAFETY HAZARD AND I PURCHASED A SECOND SUZUKI HAYABUSA ONLY A YEAR NEWER. *LN*JB
