2008: “Clutch failure on my motorcycle, which was caused by a broken internal part (lifter shaft). My motorcycle has been in the shop since that date(5 weeks now), awaiting part replacement. In my opinion this is a poorly designed part. When it brakes complete failure of clutch operation is the result. It can brake at any speed, without warning. Clutch failure can lead to serious consequences while riding a motorcycle.”
