Defect	In the power transmission system, due to improper management of the clutch plate, rust-preventative oil remaining on the clutch plate mixes with wear particles from the friction material of the friction plate. When heat is applied during operation, a sticky substance is formed which may not be discharged. As a result, even if the clutch lever is squeezed, power transmission may not be disengaged, and in the worst case, there is a risk that the vehicle may move forward when stopped.
