“In 2004 and early 2005 models the judder spring has been installed backwards from the factory. Honda is aware of this problem however has not issued a recall. This caused my clutch to fail at 425 miles in my 2005 Honda rebel. When this failure happened I was in a construction zone and nearly lost my life.”
