Steering · at 1,200 miles · reported Aug 10, 2014
While changing lanes on the highway I encountered a wobble in the steering. I checked the steering head bearing for proper adjustment per factory specs and found it to be properly adjusted. I have always had the same wobble and noted when speed is increased the wobble appears without being provoked with a lean angle. I have been riding for 46 years and have been teaching motorcycle safety for 13 years. I have never had anything like this happen on any other motorcycle (Including previous hd sportster). The best way I found to recovering from this wobble is a easy roll back off of the throttle.…
Power Train · at 25,000 miles · reported May 26, 2013
It start about a year ago, my bike then had 25,000 mile on it. It was getting hard to start after the motor was warm. I change the spark plugs, spark plug cables, ignition coil and battery and its was still hard to start. I took the bike to the dealer with about 30,000 miles on it and they diagnose the problem to be the compensator. How can a bike with 30,000 mile on it have a major powertrain problem and cost me $800.00 to repair?
Tires · at 200 miles · reported Aug 25, 2010
I purchased front and rear tires from an avon vendor at sturgis, nd in aug 2010. 200 miles later, on my way home, the front tire blew at 70mph. After nearly crashing I managed to get the bike to come to a stop. After receiving a tow I called david alari, the dealer who sold and installed the tires. All I wanted was my money back for the front tire and reinstallation ($256). He would only give me excuses. I will voice my disgust to all who will hear, especially next year at david's sturgis location, how badly I was treated and how dangerous your product is.
Structure · at 1 miles · reported Dec 19, 2007
I bought a new harley-davidson, and from the first mile it has had a severe pull to the left. I have an independent evaluation that confirms my complaint. Harley-davidson refuses to correct this warranty issue.
