Transmission and drivetrain: “While at a stop, motorcycle starts moving while the clutch is fully engaged. Motorcycle needs to be shut off to prevent it from going forward at a red light or stop sign. Can lead to a fatal accident if I'm stopped and motorcycle starts riding forward with the clutch engaged. Happens every single time after I've been riding for about 25 - 30 minutes. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”
