hopefully this 3rd one will resolve the chronic failures..now hope wife's current #3 fails in the next two months so she can sneak one in under warranty..would not want to pay for this

 

 

don't really remember, other than ours on both bikes were staggered replacements months apart..we got our M8's the week they were introduced..and we weren't starting in gear intentionally and regularly just test..sometimes when we did they wouldn't work then would later, etc...lubed them sometimes..just real random failure intervals I guess..been testing more frequently lately though as warranty expiration is rapidly approaching

 

 

thanks, I asked about the lever and he told me it was necessary for some reason I don't remember..just crossing my fingers this issue has been put to rest..if not I have a solid history and argument, post factory warranty, that the problem existed and was never able to be resolved by them

edit: found this as well

Service bulletin m1468: 2017 - 2018 touring and trike - clutch switch update. This bulletin informs the dealer network that a revised lhcm (left hand control module) is available. The new parts have a stronger spring in the clutch switch

 

I am on the 3rd clutch switch pack. Hopefully this new lever will stop the destruction of the switch packs. My buddy sent me this:

 

I guess this is why you wait a while to buy something after a major change it's first introduced. Let the bugs get worked out. That's not to say the bugs have all been taken care of. Hope your issue is resolved.

 

. When that switch was intermittent on my 2017 I lubed it, its now installed along with the bars on my 2018 and still works full time and I keep it lubed periodically.

Does the wiring have to be replaced too? Mine seems to be a hit or miss if it starts in gear. But then I have the Oberon adjustable lever and it may be part of the problem since I have it set to the 2nd closest setting.
