Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Compensator in primary went out with only 25,000 miles. Upon research, it is found that this is a known problem to harley, yet they haven't said anything. This is a major cost to the consumer and most importantly dangerous!!! If this goes out while you are riding down the highway, it locks the back wheel and primary engine! No telling how many deaths happened with this and it's goes without anything being said. There should be an immediate recall before more deaths occur. Thank god my mechanic found this while fixing another unrelated problem. …”
