made a stop at the Suzuki dealer the owner came up to me and asked what now. I bought a 2007 m109r. 2005 busa and 2008 zx14 from him in the past.
He showed me a couple of new 109s, I thought they still look great just like in the past. I asked about problems with them, if there are less now than in the past. He said to tell the truth the 109 is still the bike that comes back most often to the shop. leaks, high idle speeds, fuel gauge..ect. I ask about any 2nd gear issues he said they have seen a few and Suzuki did cover the cost to repair in about half the cases. Too bad I was wishing they had most the problems figured out by now. For those reasons I just could not pull the trigger on a new one. Looks like I may go the Busa route again or wait until a used 2009 m109r shows up at a killer deal. Not that it would matter I don't keep one for long anyway

Good luck with the Busa, great bike. We're all miserable w/ our 9's

Speak for yourself,,, I love mine.

I must disagree

I've been riding over 30 years now and the 9 is the most impressive MC I've ever owned.

I have had this bike now three years and this year is the first year that I started taking it out on the open road and I love it.

My mechanic always stops what he is doing to come out and look my 9 over. He says he never gets any in. They have two on the floor, but he never gets to see customers 9's. Maybe the issues are the way that shop assembles them. My 9 has not had any of the issues you mention.

That's what my local dealer tells me too. I've bought 3 bikes from them and know the guys there, and they get them in for service but seldom for any kind of major repairs.

I've had less problems with this bike than most any bike I've had for the past 30-35 years.
