Yes, this happened to me wife yesterday, 11 months and 1400 (yes, one thousand four hundred) miles after buying her 750. WELL within the warranty
Anyone ever heard of this happening? The clutch cable is not broken and it was sudden. She had no slipping or anything like that on our 100 mile ride and it happened in the road in front of our driveway, thankfully.
It's at HD now.


What would cause this? She's not hard on the clutch at all that I can tell (her first bike), licensed in April...
Thanks for any input.

I changed the oil at 1000 with Mobil 1 motorcycle 20W-50, Same as I put in my big Indian.
While I had to hustle her bike off the road, I could let the clutch out and juuuust barely feel the bike want to go.
I hope it's a warranty issue. Seriously LOL
