Last sunday I was preparing to wash my suzuki burgman scooter. The problem arose when I attempted to place the scooter onto it's center stand. I was standing on the left side of the scooter with my left hand on the left handlebar hand grip and my right hand on the passenger grab handle.
After completing all recommended services by the dealer where the vehicle was purchased, the vehicle transmission did not engage and I was left stranded along side of a rode.
