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

I HAVE A 2007 FLHTCUSE@ HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES GOING ON 5. THE FIRST TIME WAS FOR A LEAK IN THE REAR CYLINDER. SECOND TIME WAS FOR OIL SPRAYING OUT OF THE OIL COOLER AND NO OIL PRESSURE, THIRD TIME WAS FOR NO OIL PRESSURE, FOURTH TIME WAS FOR EXCESSIVE KNOCKING AND RUNNING ON THE FRONT CYLINDER ONLY. NOW I AM TAKING IT BACK IN FOR THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM OF LEAKING OUT OF THE REAR CYLINDER AGAIN. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL 8/6 TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED. IN THE MEAN TIME I WENT TO GO OUT ON A RIDE AND I MADE IT LESS THEM A MILE AND NOW IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. I HAVE BEEN ON HDFORUMS.COM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR HARLEY DAVIDSON 110 MOTORS. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS SIGHT TO SEE ALL OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON WITH THESE NEW MOTORS. *TR
