“Riding in nebraska on I-80 westbound, vehicle went into an almost uncorrectable front wheel wobble, after gaining control of the motorcycle I was able to get onto road shoulder and found the right front wheel bearing had disintegrated , no ball bearings were visible and the seal was missing. This incident was very unnerving. The h-d dealer in grand island, ne was able to fix the bearing in question within six hours I was back on the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10541902, filed 2013-09, 15,000 miles“2010 harley davidson ultra classic rear brake quit working. Rear brake had complete pedal pressure but would not stop the motorcycle. Applying pressure while riding would eventually cause rear brake to start working as normal. Found puddle of oil on garage floor and upon inspection found that the right rear shock absorber was leaking oil and that oil was getting on the rear disc rotor causing loss of braking friction. Motorcycle is in shop now waiting for a new shock absorber to arrive. Motorcycle has 7k miles on it and part will be replaced under warranty.”
