....I other news H-D have recalled every motorcycle they ever built with a cable clutch because if the cable breaks the rider might not be able to slow down or stop....if you own a Harley Davidson DO NOT RIDE IT but ship it NZ where Spanners39 will dispose of it for you.....

 

I like the old ones better everyday. Maybe the new ones need some Viagra for their hydraulic's.

 

would seafoam help out with the hydraulic clutches

 

Tdog uses seafoam instead of Viagra

 

I guess they want to pick them up, instead of everyone dropping them off at the dealership? Boy...wouldn't that be a cluster truck!

 

At least they are recognizing the problem and addressing it and even going pick the bikes up. That sure beats denying there is a problem.

 

Not pretty, Running 70 mph and need a emergency stop, Motor keeps pulling you forward...

 

Not if you shut the throttle it won't...

 

No kidding. Let go of the throttle and it returns to idle. Press the EMERGENCY KILL SWITCH and the engine dies. Shut off the ignition switch, and the engine dies. Press the brakes, and the bike slows down. If someone has any riding experience at all and knows how to ride a bike, then those things should come as second nature.

There is absolutely no chance of the bike running away with someone. Just like the idiots that claimed Toyotas were running away with them. Shut the engine off or take it out of gear and the problem is solved.

Again, recognizing a problem, and taking appropriate action to address it. How long have these bikes been out? Seems like a pretty good response time to address this problem.

Also worth mentioning is I don't see anything inherently wrong with using a hydraulic clutch. Now if we were talking some kind of computerized clutch, then that would be different. That is also in line with my dislike of throttle by wire.
