Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In mid ride I was approaching a low speed corner at the end of a high speed straight away. I tried to pull my clutch handle in to begin to brake and downshift and the clutch handle had no resistance at all. Complete failure of the hydraulic clutch system. Unable to take the drive pressure off the rear tire the bike lost traction in the rear and lowsided the bike into a 6 foot ditch at around 60 to 70 MPH. I received minor injuries thanks to my gear but injuries none the less. I have spoken to many motorcycle mechanics and all of them have stated that hydro clutches are death traps. …”
