Default To Ride or Not To Ride

Thats the question? With this new clutch recall, trying decide whether or not to ride my 2014 Ultra prior to having work completed. I have had the bike nearly 3 weeks a little over1400 miles. Going to be off work tomorrow, and supposed to be a beautiful day.

A decision only you can make.

I've put 20000 kms on my SGS since April how many times have I pulled that clutch lever in that time? I wouldn't worry about it I'm not, I'll ride till it goes in for the recall. Stop worring and go out and ride.

RIDE, I WILL RIDE, I see 100's on here with 1000's of miles and '14s over a year old with no problems and I've had 3000 trouble free miles in the last few months and my clutch is working great, clutch failure isn't the end of the world, been there several times over the years.
Dealer 20 miles from me has terrible service all others are 40+ miles and don't figure I'll get decent service from them since I didn't buy from them and I don't plan on leaving my bike.
I don't think of a recall as a definite fact a part will fail, but I'm glad they tell us of a potential problem.

Thought it was just some lunging at a stop sign from not being %100 disengaged, not complete failure, I'm riding

I called my dealer in CYA mode they said you ride at your own risk. Told me they had one fail on a new bike when moving it onto the showroom floor. didn't say if recent or when 14's first came out. Came real close to treating a line of new bikes like bowling ***** but didn't he said. Mine is in for the recall, didn't have problem actually more worried about after the recall because human hands touched it and stuff happens.

You wouldn't even know about it if you didn't check yourself.
