3RD GEAR HAS A GRINDING SOUND ON DECELERATION
THIRD GEAR GRINDING.
UNDER BRAKING THE CLUTCH DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE CAUSING THE MOTORCYCLE TO STALL AT SPEED. THERE IS NO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT AS IT IS A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM, AND IT IS WELL KNOWN IN THE STRATOLINER COMMUNITIES. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS CRASHES AS THE BIKE COULD STALL IN AN INTERSECTION OR WHILE IN A TURN CAUSING A HIGH SIDE CRASH. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR
