Hi Duane
So you really see no problem with him selling Gavins with parts in them 
that he does not even use in his own. The scooters are said to be the best, 
they are even advertised as having gold superconnectors, with all of these 
statements a 5 dollars plastic clutch is put in it and sent to the buyer. 
You telling me that's OK with you, did he do it to you? I saw nothing on 
the options page about a choice in clutches, only a mention in the owners 
manual part and it does not say anything in great detail about it, only how 
to set the clutch with the washers and such. No cost is found for it in 
pricing, unless someone who already knows this stuff tells you, you buy the 
scooter blind to this fact. Hopefully now everyone is aware of this and 
know what to ask for.......
