Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “I was out riding with my husband and my friend and we had just come over the high rise bridge from beaufort to morehead city and was sitting at a traffic light. When the light turned green and I went to go, the rear tire would not move and a very odd/loud noise came from the rear of the bike to which my husband said to me to shut the bike off. My bike had sheered all five of the bolts off that hold the rear sprocket onto the back tire and they locked the tire in a fixed position. …”
NHTSA complaint #10364913, filed 2010-11, 14,724 milesEngine cooling: “The contact owns a 2006 harley davidson DYNA wide glide. While driving 25 MPH uphill, the bolts began to clank in the engine. The vehicle began to hesitate and the contact was able to pull off the road and shut off the engine. The vehicle was able to be restarted a few minutes later, but the noise grew louder. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the failure was ongoing and harley refuses to issue a recall. The dealer further stated that the starter that bolts onto the primary became loose and detached, causing the pulley to also detach. …”
NHTSA complaint #10226628, filed 2008-05, 9,100 milesEquipment: “I purchased a harley davidson low rider from southside harley in virginia beach, va. The horn does not work. I have had it back to them twice, they oil it, I get it back on the road, and it doesn't work. The service department read me an interoffice memo stating basically that harley recognizes that their horn consistently does not work and recommending several things that can be done to fix it, but everyone I talk with says it is a conisisten problem. It is a tremendous safey factor especially for a novice rider in my opinion. …”
