Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The foot operated shift lever fell off its piviot while the motorcycle was in motion. the linkage stayed attached causing the shift lever to drag and get hung up under the motorcycle causing a loss of vehicle control. the rider regained control and stopped the motorcycle. the shift lever is retained on the piviot shaft by a "c" clip. the clip must have broken of fallen off. when this problem occures you can not shift the transmission or turn left without the shifter jamming under the motorcycle and causing a loss of vehicle control. this is very dangerous. this part should not fail at such a low amount of miles.*ak
