Suicide Shifter Illegal in California?

by Steve
Saturday, December 01, 2007

Suicide ShifterHDForums user, "friknjok" says he got ticketed by a law enforcement officer who told him the suicide shifter on his motorcycle was unsafe...

was cited for "non-original suicide clutch" in southern california. Calif vehicle code 24002(a), unsafe vehicle.

Never heard of getting a ticket for a suicide clutch. Any help with literature or resources to fight this ticket are appreciated. Thanks.
The vehicle code "24002(a)" doesn't specifically address suicide shifters, rather, it allows an LEO cite any motorist for operating an unsafe vehicle. It's basically one of those laws that LEOs can use as a "catch all" when they need to bust someone for something.

I guess I never heard of someone getting ticketed for a suicide shifter.

Anyone out there ever got busted for this?

  • Fight it. All it takes is you to go in with information that you were riding safe and nothing out of the ordinary street riding. Apes above shoulders are now legal in California thanks to Arnie (even though I don't like him). Go in and just fight it.
