C clip fell out of transmission causing gears to crash together. Could have locked up rear tire but gears broke and wouldn't allow movement in 4th gear
Purchased this the bike would go for periods of time without stalling then it started stalling not only when you took off from a stop, but when you shifted gears up or down shifts, especially when you were in the middle of a turn, left was more often.
