Service Brakes · at 34,000 miles · reported Jul 5, 2017
Faulty hydraulic control unit for the ABS braking system. It's a very common problem as I have discovered. It can cause the loss of either front, or rear breaks at any time. I was in the driveway and couldn't apply my front breaks.

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. I rode out to bike night with my friends and all was ok until I left to…

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 !!! After I grabbed the handlebars and calmed down - I took it to my local harley dealer no help not saying much they test rode it-- nothing ! Said my tire pressure was off I tested it on the way home still there. Gave it to them a week later nothing I've tested it at different speeds it's worst and comes on faster at slow speeds high speed takes time to build up if you want more info google "harley wobble"…
Engine · at 4,000 miles · reported Feb 2, 2014
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. The heat reaches unbearable…
