How big is the rear tire on a Suzuki Boulevard M109r?
The LCD tachometer atop the bar looks like an evil robot head. And boy, does this 109-cubic-inch M109R have muscle! Your first hint of this bad boy’s sinister intent is that 8.5-inch-wide, 240-series rear tire. My confirmation of the bike’s power occurred in just taking it up to speed for the first time on the freeway.
How does SDTV work on Suzuki Boulevard M109r?
SDTV operates in concert with the tuned two-into-one-into- two stainless exhaust system, and two spark plugs per cylinder to promote cleaner burning. It works; check the dyno figures. Suzuki fitted the M109R with a cable-actuated clutch, and ours exhibited unusually notchy shifting for such a high-end bike.
What’s the compression ratio on a Suzuki M109r?
The use of a 10.5:1 compression ratio assures that the big Suzook must sup on a minimum of 90-octane fuel. A company spokesman stated that one reason for the M109R was to appeal to older Suzuki riders who had owned GSX-Rs and wanted to slow down and cruise—but not slow down too much.
What causes a car to stall after sitting for a long time?
If the car has sat for a while, condensation could have caused water to form inside the gas tank. Water in the gas can also result in inconsistent performance from the engine (causing sudden lurches or making it occasionally feel underpowered). Use a code scanner to identify engine error codes.
What kind of clutch does Suzuki Boulevard M109r have?
Suzuki fitted the M109R with a cable-actuated clutch, and ours exhibited unusually notchy shifting for such a high-end bike. It gnashed and snarled at times going into first gear, and was also notchy in other gears. However, once it got into gear it stayed there. Clutch lever effort is, shall we say, manly.
