After installing a brand new, ceramic-coated full exhaust system, dressing her up nice, taking her out on the town and showing her a good time she repays me with this:


Heartbreakin' bitch. lol

Is this indeed the dreaded clutch weep? The $100 EBR part is in order?

I think I saw another Houston area 1125 rider with this issue have Goe Cycles in Angleton install the EBR part with good results.

<sigh>

the brake/hydraulic fluid will take the paint off the side cover - QUICK! wash the dribble off - plain water will dilute it enough to stop the paint removin action

Spin your puck around 180 degrees and keep riding until your new part arrives, just keep an eye on fluid level in reservoir.

EB R clutch actuator is the fix and its easy peezy to do.


Mine leaked for a year before I got the real fix and the fluid didn't stain or take the paint of the cover - maybe I just got lucky <shrug> ?

Mine started bubbling the paint on the puck. So I just stripped the rest of the paint off and polished it.

I was under the extended warranty, but those bastards told me "clutch problems weren't covered."

Court gave me some ideas to get my money back, but I had just HAD it with that worthless dealer in Long Island City. That was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back and I parted ways with the 1125R.

Waiting to see if EBR comes up with something affordable and practical, and it is sold through ANYTHING but a Harley dealer (the exception being the guys in Danbury... but it's too far for me to be practical) and we'll see.

I liked my 1125R, but what I really want/need is an everyday, all-purpose ride. Something like what the Japanese used to sell in the late 70's/early 80's. In the meantime my Maxi Scoot works out just fine.
