I PURCHASED MY BIKE BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND IT HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE CRACKS/LINES ON THE RIMS. HAVE READ THAT OTHERS HAVE NOTICED THIS TO. NOW WITH ONLY 7000 MILES ON IT I REMOVED THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY. UPON REMOVING THE FUEL FILTER/PUMP FROM THE GAS TANK I NOTICED PIECES OF PLASTIC DEBRIS EVERYWHERE. IT APPEARS THAT GAS ATE THROUGH THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE WIRES OF THE FUEL FILTER/PUMP. NOW THE BIKE ONLY SPUTTERS WHEN IN GEAR AND WILL NOT DRIVE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AND IF THIS IS GOING TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. I ASSUMING THAT SOME OF THE DEBRIS MADE IT THROUGH THE WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM AND THAT IS WHY IT WILL NOT RUN PROPERLY.

I OWN A 2006 SUZUKI BOULEVARD C50 MOTORCYCLE. CRACKS DEVELOPED ON FRONT WHEEL HUB. REPORTED CRACKS TO DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2007. FACTORY STATED THEY WERE CASTING "IMPERFECTIONS". I SAY THESE ARE CRACKS, THEY CONTINUED TO GROW. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP IN DECEMBER OF 2007 THAT THE "IMPERFECTIONS" WERE GROWING LONGER AND WIDER. FACTORY CONTINUED TO CLAIM THEM NOT OF A SAFETY CONCERN. NEITHER DEALERSHIP OR FACTORY ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THE WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RESULTS FROM THE FACTORY. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE WHEELS. *TR
