The issue
On certain motorcycles, the second/third pinion gear inside the transmission may be incorrectly machined, which could cause abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheels to lock up. Correction: Dealer will replace the transmission gears and shafts.
