Vehicle E-Clutch system malfunctioning. When riding the e-clutch warning lights will flicker and cause the bike to jult uncontrollably for about 3 seconds. It happens at random, no one situation is the same, it could be in the middle of a turn, it could be at a stop light, it could be getting up to speed, etc. This has happened over 10 times while riding and after taking it to the dealership they were unable to reproduce the warning lights and the issue didn't show up when running the codes. After picking it up for the second time, the malfunctioning started again within the first 20 minutes of riding it. This is not just a user error, or a operating error like the dealership tried to tell me it was. This is a bigger issue. This almost cost me my life and I won't let this be brushed under the rug. This specific incident was the worst of the bunch. It was about 6 hours after I picked the bike up from the dealership the 1st time. I was out riding with a friend making frequent stops at resturaunts and gas stations. The E-clutch light had already been on at this point but per the dealership they told me it should still be safe to ride. Obviously not. After our last stop of the day, the bike decided (as I was getting up to speed) to junk uncontrollably for about 3 seconds, shut the engine off, then turn the engine back on and accelerate. At this point I hit the kill switch and glided to a safe spot to pull over and assess the issue. This could have easily costed my life if I had been at a higher speed. The repair order attached is from the 2nd repair. The first repair was able to get covered by warranty I guess so I didn't get any paperwork.
