Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
Clutch did something funky and it cost me 60 bucks and 1 week of no bike for Gails HD to tell me that nothing was wrong. There is something wrong with that! Update!!! At 8200 miles the clutch freaked out again and broke the clutch cable leaving me stranded in Arkansas for 2 weeks with no whip! There are NO BUELL dealers in AR!?!? On a happier note, After I got done towing it back to KC, Gail's fixed it right this time all under warranty. "something" broke off in my primary case which was warped which screwed up the clutch adjustment and led to the failure. Whatever. Now I need some trouble free miles with my bike to make me feel the confidence to ride it anywhere again. Arkansas was beautiful on the drive down!
