2025 Harley-Davidson Fltrx Problems

Due to a known manufacturing issue the coil pack wiring was faulty on my motorcycle. It happened twice while I was out riding and both times the motorcycle shut down unexpectedly on me. The second time was almost catastrophic but I was able to ride in neutral to a breakdown lane. I bought the bike in July 2025 and the first issue I had was in august 2025. The issue was brought in, resolved and then a few days later the issue happened again and was once again serviced and resolved in accordance with the Harley Davidson service bulletin. The issue again happened in June 2026 and has been fixed by a different dealer. This is an extremely dangerous issue that should be recalled.

This is a Safety Concern with the Skyline OS, the software that runs on the motorcycle. Most users use Apple CarPlay or equivalent for navigation on the motorcycle. For the Apps to work, you must have a headset connected to the motorcycle via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth system is not reliable and has constant disconnects. Sometimes it will work great, most times it does not. When you lose connection from the headset, you lose navigation. I recently traveled around Lake Superior and found my self wanting to try to reconnect while riding, watching the screen (which is also a touch screen), trying to get my navigation back, or parking on the side of the rode. I hope you can understand where this a safety concern. Taking your eyes off the road longer than normal or taking a hand off the handle bar to touch the screen. There are several complaints on this topic if you search for it. Roadglide.org is one reference, you can search headset disconnect, headset reconnect. I have tried several different Bluetooth devices with no change, and these devices work flawless when connected to other systems. I have tried to reach out to Harley via the customer service phone number, after being on hold for 30 minutes, I gave up. Based on other peoples reviews, Harley is not responsive and the shops are not having any luck solving this. Hoping you can help push Harley along, before someone gets injured from this. I truly believe this is software based or the device that controls the Bluetooth. Thank you for your help.

The check engine warning light and a yellow triangle warning light was illuminated. The motorcycle was ridden to a nearby lot. The contact inspected the motorcycle and checked the fluids. The contact was able to restart the motorcycle and continued riding; however, the failure recurred. The motorcycle was driven to the intended destination.

The motorcycle was towed to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated, and the failure persisted.

The 2025 Road Glide throttle is malfunctioning. The bike is 5 days old. The throttle is hyper-sensitive. It also is inconsistent in power even when the throttle is held steady it will surge. The bike will tend to pop forward - lurch ahead at slow speeds, especially when coming to a stop. At times the bike will also not reach idle, it races to 2100 RPM and stays at that level at a complete stop. The bike throttle is not in the drivers control and feels very unsafe.

I recently purchased, 9/12/2025, a 2025 Harley FLTRX. The turn signals operate erratically. When approaching a turn I energize the appropriate turn signal and it may or may not stay on for more than 3-4 seconds before reaching the turn. I am trying to concentrate on the traffic and not looking to see if my turn signal is still energized. I recently had a near miss with another vehicle due to this issue. I spoke to the dealership and Harley Davidson Motor Company and they are not aware of any turn signal issues. I have been monitoring this issue over the last 4 weeks and it occurs more often than not.
