·I rode the 12 to work today as usual. no problems at all... Got in at about 0810 didn't take a lunch and left at 1645. I got on her to have what I thought a nice ride home and the I got to the end of the parking lot and the damn thing wouldn't speed up I almost friggin redlined it to get up to 30mph.. I pulled over and tooled around with it for a min and couldn't find anything loose.. That about exhausted my Mechanical Motorcycle knowledge <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT="
"> . I turned the hazards on and putt-putted home. At a red light I figured I would see what would happen if I popped the clutch open let it go and the damn thing didn't cut off and barely moved (with minimum brake)... I think I found the problem.... I finally made it home called the dealership and they said it wasn't covered under warrantee and it would cost me around $500 to replace. So I called Otis he confirmed it was the clutch said if I need his help replacing it he was there for me and to let him know. Tomorrow I have to get the 12 to the dealership so they can find out the exact problem the Wifey is ready to go up there and bite off some heads because they want to charge me labor to look at it ($68 per hr) after I talk to the shop owner tomorrow I will keep you guys posted...
Right now I am ready to get rid of the 12... Almost one year only 1750 miles (I get out when I can) never dragged taken to a track and only raced one other bike (a busa and won) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=""> never done a wheelie or stoppie on the bike and never abused her... SO why would the clutch fail so soon? Something needs to be done about this damn clutch..
It's best to be presumed dumb than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt....</p>
