“'07 harley davidson heritage softail -I was riding with a group and we accidentally ran into a parade during the 4th of july. We sat in traffic for about 10 minutes during which time I had turned my bike off and got off of it due to the heat. After 10 minutes of not running I restarted my bike to make a u-turn. However the motorcycle died during the u-turn across two lanes of traffic. I was unable to restart the motorcycle until it has cooled down. This could have caused me to be hit by a vehicle if the lane was not being blocked by the lead rider. …”
NHTSA complaint #10200223, filed 2007-08, 3,000 miles“I have a harley davidson 2007 heritage softtail classic. It has a dangerous heat problem. Harley davidson designed the bike with the oil pain right under the driver seat. I have a temperature oil gauge and the temperature reaches 250degrees right under your thigh. It is extremely painful, feels like you have a blow torch right under your thigh. It is quite distracting and when you are driving a motorcycle you must have your wits about you at all time. I contact hd customer services, they do not have any fixits in mind. …”
