| Description of the problem | The assist & slip clutch of my hd nearly got me killed the other day. I was turning in an intersection and had shifted into 2nd gear when a car didn't see me and was coming right at me. I accelerated hard while letting the clutch out, and instead of it grabbing, it slipped! So my motorcycle just sat there revving the engine and barely moving because the clutch was slipping! Thank god the oncoming car slammed on its brakes at the last minute and barely missed me. This is a very dangerous problem with the a&s clutch harley has in my cvo harley. |
