WHEN PULLING IN THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT THE CABLE SNAPPED RIGHT AT THE CLUTCH ARM GOING INTO THE TRANSMISSION THIS HAPPEN AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A ROTARY STARTING TO SHIFT UP ON A SECONDARY RD. WHEN I STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF YOU HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP AND IT SNAPPED THEN OR IF IT SNAPPED AS YOU WERE STARTING TO TAKE OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE BIKE STALLED YOU COULD EASILY GET REARENDED. THIS PROBLEM IS SO COMMON SEVERAL COMPANIES ARE MAKING ROADSIDE REPAIR KITS FOR THESE BIKE.
