“Purchased 2006 Fxdli in 2007 for my wife, we have had problems where the speedometer stops working. No warning, no check engine light illumination during occurrence (hence no trouble code stored). Speedo fails intermittent, cycle hot or cold, while driving or from stop. Motorcycle is equipped with a tachometer as well, it continues to function normally. When speedo fails, motorcycle runs rough and will die when coming to a stop. Took back to dealer several times, with issue intermittent, speedo works fine for them. …”

Motorcycle has been to the dealer several times to have cylinder replaced or adjusted. At one point my wife and I went for a ride but somewhere between point a and point b ....the key fell out. …”
NHTSA complaint #10546811, filed 2013-10“The contact stated the motorcycle was losing power, as if it lost half the power of the motor. This occurred whether accelerating or not. It has been a consistent problem that has almost caused an accident. The service dealer could not determine the cause of the problem. The motorcycle looses power when accelerating or at s steady throttle. Updated 10/04/06.”
