Service Brakes · reported Jul 10, 2022
I could not pull my front brake and almost crashed. My front brake lever is so stiff you canât pull it at all. I searched on the internet and seen they only recalled motorcycles till 2011 and there are so many people with the same problems with 2012 and up. This is a very serious situation especially when it comes to brake failure.

While riding on a flat state road (Md rt 124) I went to use the front brake by pulling in the brake lever and it suddenly went all the way to the throttle/hand grip. I thankfully still had rear brake and was able to slow down and stop. Upon releasing the lever and pulling it again the brake pumped back up.

Electrical System · at 10,000 miles · reported May 8, 2014
While driving down the highway, my check engine and battery light came on. I noticed my voltage meter at 11 volts. I had the bike towed to the harley dealer and they replaced my voltage regulator. This was a big recall in 2012 and many owners of 2013 are reporting the same issue. I'm afraid once my warranty runs out, ill be liable for replacing it again.
