Owner report 10023351 · 2003-06-19 (June 19, 2003)
PURCHASED 2000 SUZUKI INTRUDER VL1500 IN MAY 2002 WITH 7000 MILES ON BIKE. PROBLEM BEGAN TO SHOW UP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. AFTER SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL INTERMITTENTLY POP OUT OF GEAR, USUALLY UNDER ACCELERATION BUT SOMETIMES AT CRUISE, CAUSING A "FALSE NEUTRAL" SITUATION. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH CREATED AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. *NLM
