Example complaints

Engine cooling: “Dt: the engine in the motorcycle was making noises. The consumer spoke with dealer on this matter and they said there was a need for repair but it would be at the consumers expense. This was a regular maintenance item but the factory will not acknowledge. The cam chain tensioners were wearing too soon. Consumer made repairs out of pocket. No problems since the repair. Camshaft drive/bearing were replaced.”

NHTSA complaint #10126354, filed 2005-07, 19,500 miles

Electrical system: “The vehicle died while driving almost causing a crash. This was due to a short in the charging system. The dealer infromed me that they have many of these failures. The manufacturer is not will to stand behing the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #10121210, filed 2005-05

Fuel system: “The gas gauge drops normally from full to approx. '1/2 full', then in no consistent manner (time or mileage wise)...it drops to 'empty'. This causes the driver to have no reliability on the fuel system and he/she may end up stranded in a remote area or stall in traffic. This is due to fuel gauge inaccuracy. This problem has been noted to harley, by multiple flh (and other flh model) owners. Thanks.”
