2006 Suzuki Boulevard S50 review from United States of America
"Great bike, great looks and fun to ride"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Carburetor/gas issues.
Front brakes squeal.
Rear signal lights crack easy if hit on dismount.
Needs 6th gear.
General comments?
The bike rides really nice and has more than enough power.
If the bike sits unused for a long time, be careful that you put something in the gas prior or fill with C12 racing fuel. The gas used today has alcohol, and will cause a film of what turns out to be corn starch and will clog the jets. If you add a cap full of mystery oil to the tank, it will help to prevent this from happening.
