TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON FLHTCUSE MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WITH A SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING. THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY WANDERED OUT OF THE LANE BUT THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
MY 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA CLASSIS ELETRA GLIDE REAR PULLEY BOLTS SHEARED OF COMPLETELY INSIDE THE WHEEL. THE BIKE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL ABOVE HARLEY DAVIDSON REQUIREMENTS. THE BIKE HAS ONLY 18,000 MILE AND HAD ALREADY HAD THE 20,000 MILE SERVICE COMPLETED. I HAD SPOKE WITH HARLEY AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING AND CLAIM IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. THE BIKE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER HARLEY AND IT STILL HAPPENED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON HARLEY FORUM OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW ARE BOLT GRADE ISSUE. RIGHT NOW I AM FIGHTING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AND HARLEY TO GET THIS CLEAR DEFECT FIXED ON THERE DIME NOT MINE. THUS FAR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLACE DENIED THE CLAIM AND HARLEY STATES THE BIKE IS OUT OF WARRANTY DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS AN ISSUE OF DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. *TR
PROBLEMS WITH 110 CI CVO ENGINE MAP. ENGINE SOMETIMES DIES WHEN SHIFTING, POPS BACK THROUGH INTAKE. HAD THIS HAPPEN ON SAID DATE, WHEN ENTERING HIGHWAY ONTO ON RAMP. I WAS COMING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED, ABOUT 60-65 MPH, WITH TWO SEMI'S IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH AMPLE SPACE FOR ME TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. PULLED CLUTCH IN, AND THE ENGINE DIED INSTANTLY. HAD TO TAKE THE BIKE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TO ALLOW FOR SEMI'S TO PASS BY WHILE HITTING START BUTTON TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER STARTING BACK UP I WAS ABLE THEN TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IN TOWN IN SLOWER TRAFFIC WHEN SLOWING AND TAKING OFF. ENGINE ALSO HAS REPEATED REAR CYLINDER OIL LEAKS, I AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD CYLINDER THAT THEY ARE REPLACING ON MY BIKE. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE MAP, OR THE CAUSE OF MY OIL LEAKS. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES OF CHROME AND PAINT PROBLEMS BUT ALL OF THESE ARE MINOR, COMPARED TO THE ENGINE STALLING, AND OIL LEAKS. COMPRESSION RELEASES INTERMITTENTLY WORK, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE STARTER, CAUSING IT TO FAIL. WHICH HAS LEFT ME STRANDED, AND I HAD TO TRAILER THE BIKE BACK TO THE DEALER. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS BIKE 11 MONTHS, AND ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IT AND MORE. I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE THAT SOMETIMES DIES IN BETWEEN GEAR CHANGES. THIS COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS OR POSSIBLE DEATHS. ON THE 8TH WAS A NEAR MISS OF THIS MAGNITUDE. THE DEALER AND COMPANY HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO FIX THIS AND HAVE YET TO DATE. *JB

SERVICE BULLETIN M1650: MILWAUKEE EIGHT AND TWIN CAM CAMSHAFT DRIVE GEAR RETENTION KIT CHANGES. PURPOSE: This bulletin informs dealers that changes have been made to the Camshaft Drive Gear Retention Kit and service proceduresfor the Milwaukee-Eight and Twin Cam applications. In an effort to increase the clamp load of the camshaft drive sprocket bolted joint and prevent the drive bolt from loosening in high lift camshaft applications, the following changes have been made: a. The camshaft drive bolt final torque has been increased to 40 ft-lbs (54 N·m) for all Milwaukee-Eight and certain Twin Cams models. See Vehicles Affected. This increase in torque will make the bolt a one time use application. Never re-use a camshaft drive bolt for service after tightening to the increased specification. See service manual for updated procedure. b. A new camshaft drive gear retention kit (Part No. 91800088) has been created. This new kit is compatible with all Milwaukee-Eight and Twin Cam engines using Parts and Accessories (P&A) camshaft and Original Equipment (OE) camshaft applications. See Instruction sheet for specific fitment on Twin Cam OE camshaft applications. The new kit utilizes friction washers to prevent unwanted rotation of components in the drive sprocket bolted joint under stress. The use of liquid threadlocker on the threads of the bolt and pre-lube to the head of the bolt flange and outside of the washer help the bolt reach full stretch when tightening. NOTE: Engines produced at all Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC) plants will not come with the new kits installed. They will continue to be produced with (Part No. 25566-06).
