Lots of Tip around here and heard of a few failing yes. Normally it's far cheaper to get a replacement (2nd hand) than to get it fixed. You have to be somehow lucky to have one that actually works flawlessly. Many either slips between gears, rev'ing +200rpm, some others clunks a lot/randomly. But when you have one that actually works it can be a blast

The biggest problem with the 986 Tip is the "false neutral" when downshifting at higher speed than the tip can manage. Can be scary as hell and once the gear decide to slide in, it "clunck" really bad if not quick enough to upshift it.

Some are worst than others Every tip is unique for some strange reason
