| Description of the problem | Started the motorcycle in neutral. When i pulled in the hydraulic clutch and put the bike in 1st gear, the bike took off. The clutch was completely ineffective and i barely avoided an accident. I was able to control the bike by slamming on the brakes and shutting the bike off. The bike had to be towed to the dealership as it is not safe to ride. When the dealer ran the vin to see if it was part of the 2014-2015 flhxs that are recalled... It came up as not part of the recall. |
