Secondly , unless he has a problem like the clutch springs all fell out ,etc and has a good bit of mechanical experience with motorcycles, looking at a clutch work ( or not work ) when you dont know anything about what it " should" look like in there , may or may not be helpful.



Unless he just stumbles across some simple thing to correct this that has caused it, looks like he is either going to be looking at getting hooked for paying return shipping ( ouch , not cheap ) to send it back for total replacement, or waiting on a replacement clutch assembly assuming that is the issue and having to try to replace it himself which his mechanical ability may or may not facilitate , and we all know most Shops wont even pee on a Chinese bike, let alone work on one. ,and either scenario is not what you should look for when buying a brand new motorcycle.



Maybe Venoms Tech Dept. can get him fixed up , I hope so .I've never seen a report of this particular issue on the Forums here so I'm convinced it's a really rare anomaly but that doesnt help much when it is you the anomaly is happening to, i mean he has a new motorcycle that wont move, thats gotta be a real pisser.

Yeah. Thinking about it bit more you are absolutely right, tearing into the internals would not be a good idea at this early stage, I to purchased from Venom and all though I had a different issue., they "did not" blow me off and leave me hanging. I hope all works out ok so there is another satisfied Venom customer.
