Sounds like they didn't bleed the lines properly when they finished the job.

On Saturday I got on the bike and when I put it in gear, it took off on me, no matter how far I pulled in the clutch, I couldn't keep it from moving forward, then I couldn't find Neutral, and then it became very difficult to shift bio 2nd. Managed to get it to the dealer where they flushed the hydraulic system and bled it. Dealer had told me they had done this with another bike, and it really wasn't a permanent solution. The Mechanic also told me, and here I apologize if I get it wrong, that the minimum spec for the clutch plate? was 80thousands inch? and that they could only get it to 76. Dealear wrote a work order and said he would call Tech service today, Monday. I was able to ride the bike with no problems for the rest of the day. This Morning I got on, and same problems I had before they flushed and drained the system. Got it over to dealer to inform them I was no better off and to make sure they were doing something about it. Went home, got back on the bike after a half hour, and this time there was no controlling the bike, it was lurching forward like a Porpoise and making a terrible banging sound. I called Milwaukee, got a service repair number, called dealer, told him Milwaukee was waiting for his called, dealer sent trailer over to pick up my bike. don't know when I 'll see it again, Pissed, Angry, Frustrated!!!

I feel for you on the new machine. But I would suggest one thing. The moment it happens stop, turn it off and call for them to pick it up. Trying to bang it into gear is not a good idea when the clutch is not working.
