2007 Suzuki VZR1800

In late 2020 while in a turn on the interstate while in 2nd gear the motorcycle jolted like it slipped on ice. The second time it happened is when I attempted to accelerate to 3rd gear the bike shuddered like it was not getting gas. Not being able to provide gas caused the vehicles behind me to swerve into the other lane. After 8 months of the bike sitting at another Suzuki dealer because they said they had to rip out the engine I towed the bike to a dealer over 700 miles away. That dealer said it was the clutch plates. They replaced the entire clutch system at my cost and the problem remained immediately upon picking up the bike. The same dealer now says it’s the gears and they have to replace them which means approximately another month at the dealer. The bike had not been inspected by any other agency. There were no warning lights of any kind. The RPMs never changed when the issue occurred. I called USA Suzuki and they said they’ll call me back. They never did. I will now have to get an attorney because Suzuki has a failed mechanical part they claimed they fixed years prior but the same thing is happening with the new models.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW (SUZUKI M109) I TAKE CARE OF THIS BIKE LIKE A BABY ON TIME SERVICES, NO SPEEDING TRYING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT BECAUSE ME AND MY LADY FELT IN LOVE WITH IT, AFTER 4 MONTHS OF USE AND SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SHOP THE TRANSMISSION GOES, TAKE IT TO THE DEALER A WEEK LATER THEY TELL ME THAT THE 2ND GEAR FORK IS BENT AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHARGE OF $2,500 ON THE OWNER AND I SAID HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE WHEN IS A BRAND NEW BIKE THEY SAID THERE'S NO DEFECT ON THE PARTS THAT IT WAS THE OWNER MISHANDLING IT, I SAID NO WAY , NOT EVEN THE CORP IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM?
