2008 Suzuki Boulevard S50 review from United States of America
"I love this bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I recently bought a 2008 S50. I love it! However as with the other comments read, I guess Suzuki hasn't fixed the front brake squealing problem because mine does it also.
I have also noticed that it is cold natured when it is started in the AM.
If you are wearing a thick boot, you have to pay attention to the shifting because you may think there is a problem shifting, when actually it is because the boot is not allowing the gear shift to complete the shift.
General comments?
I am also a 5'7" tall male. The size of this bike is just right. I recently added the sissy bar kit which matches the stock seat.
My seat is comfortable for now, however it will be my daily driver so we will see.
The only real modifications I plan to make are a windshield, and maybe some neon lights so other drivers will see me coming at night down the road.
