Engine cooling: “2007 harley davidson flhtcui, experiencing intense heat from the right rear cylinder, when the bike is stopped in traffic it is unbearable, I am fearful it will burn the underside of my right thigh. Discussed with the dealer and was told, there is nothing that can be done. It was suggested that I remove the lower fairings, but this had no effect on the heat when the bike was stopped. As I said, I am afraid I will be burned by this.”

Vehicle speed control: “Started my '07harley davidson Flhtcu and backed out of parking stall, bike was already in 1st gear, started to release the clutch to move the bike when the engine went to full throttle with no input from me. The bike lurched forward so I immediately twisted the throttle off and applied the front brake because I was heading for a curb. Again the engine went to full throttle on it's own. The brake had no effect so before I hit the curb I released the brake and straightened the bike so I would hit the curb at a right angle and was able to avoid a tree. …”
