Example complaints

Brakes: “I had just left my house and after a few minutes of riding, I came up to a stop, when I attempted to squeeze the front brake lever, it was frozen and would not budge. Luckily, I was not going fast and or needed an emergency stop, I was able to stop with downshifting and rear brake. I coasted back home slowly with no additional issues other than no front brakes. The front brake lever froze and I was unable to squeeze the lever, causing me to brake with the rear (foot) brake to stop. …”

Steering: “First time I noticed the harley wobble I was on the highway doing the speed limit. I took my hands off the handlebars to fix my gloves -- the handle bars started wobbling side to side wow !!!

Wheels: “When I first got the bike I trailered it home and by the time I got home the rear tire was flat, so I told it to bakersfield harley davidson where they told me it just needed to be aired up..that was the first incident. The second incident I rode it home and right when I pulled into the drive way the rear went flat on me again, at that point I took it back and they pulled the tire off and reset the beat on it, thinking that wheel was just not seating right on the rim itself. After that the back tire held air for a while. …”

NHTSA complaint #10704345, filed 2015-04, 50 miles

Engine: “Sitting at a traffic light, the engine overheated and as soon as the throttle was applied, the motorcycle stalled out. Using an infrared thermometer, cylinder temperatures measured 280 degrees in the front cylinder and 380 degrees in the rear cylinder. This measurement was taken with the motorcycle not having been ridden, just sitting and idling for 15 minutes. The heat is dangerous on this motorcycle and h-d's recommendations involve spending hundreds if not thousands to make a brand new motorcycle comfortable and safe to ride. This is completely unacceptable. …”
