Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At altitude - approximately 3700ft above sea level - once the 2011 electra glide ultra classic limited heats up, the motor knocks and pings so bad it sounds like the motor is going to fall apart. If I take bike to sea level, the detonation issue clears up. The motorcycle is un-rideable in this condition. The harley dealership said it was a known issue with the fuel system/timing mapping and that harley motor company was 'looking into it', but no fix is forthcoming.”
