Example complaints

Electrical system: “I was riding my motorcycle and encountered heavy rain when my speedometer, tachometer, dash lights, fuel indicator and voltage gauge started turning on and off, my fuel indication started going from empty to half tank over and over again until it went dead, same with my tachometer and speedometer. Now the tachometer is at around 1200 rpms and my speedometer is at 14 MPH. There's also swelling inside the glass due to water filtration I presume which harley davidson didn't seal the speedo and tach gauges really well. …”
