The clutch slave cylinder seal failed making the clutch inoperable. I was moving on a dirt road at the time making it more difficult to shift gears. The seal had a rip causing it to fail. The motorcycle had 813 miles at the time of the failure and it was less than a year since I took possession. In reading on the internet found other complaints, which there were many, the failure occurred in less than a thousand miles. This is a dangerous condition, had I been in traffic I would have not been able to disengage the engine from the wheel. It may have caused me to rear end someone.
