2013 Harley-Davidson Fxsb Problems

I WAS ON I-275 JUST EAST OF THE I-71 INTERSECTION IN CINCINNATI, OH. MY MOTORCYCLE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE SO I PULLED IN THE CLUTCH AND COASTED TO A STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. I HAD OVER A GALLON OF PREMIUM GAS STILL IN THE TANK. I WAS LESS THAN 1/4 MILE FROM THE MONTGOMERY ROAD EXIT AND KNEW I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PUSH MY MOTORCYCLE THAT FAR. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND SAT THERE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE WHEN I DECIDED TO SEE IF IT WOULD START. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I DROVE TO EXIT AND ADDED 3 GALLONS TO THE 5 GALLON TANK, IT RAN FINE FOR UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION 15 MILES AWAY. ON MY RETURN TRIP IT STARTED BOGGING DOWN UPON ANY ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. IT HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALERSHIPS AND NOW I AM TOLD IT IS A FAULTY FUEL LINE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT HARLEY CORPORATE WILL NOT MAKE AVAILABLE UNTIL 8/5/13. I COULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER HAD I BEEN IN THE FAST OR MIDDLE LANES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

TIRES ON MY 2013 BREAKOUT ARE SHOWING SERIOUS SIGNS OF FRACTURING ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE TIRE. THIS HAS OCCURED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK TIRES THAT COME STANDARD ON THE VEHICLE. THE CRACKS ON THE FRONT TIRE FIRST APPEARED SOMETIME BETWEEN THE 5K CHECKUP AND 7K. IT WAS NOT CLEAR IF THIS WAS A PEEL OR CRACK AND DID NOT APPEAR TO GET DEEPER. AFTER THE 10 CHECK I NOTICED THE CRACK LOOKED DEEPER AND INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT TO BE TRUE. THE BIKE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT WAS NORMAL AND TO CHANGE THE TIRES, HE HAD ALREADY RECOMMEDED THE BACK. TODAY I WAS INSPECTING THE TIRES AND NOTICED A HAIRLINE FRACTURE ACROSS THE LENGTH OF THE REAR TIRE. I INSPECT TIRES ALMOST DAILY AND THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE SEEN OF THIS CRACK. BOTH TIRES ARE ABOVE THE 2 MARK ON THE DEPTH AND WARE MARKES ARE NOT SHOWING. *JS

I HAVE HAD TWO D407 REAR TIRES FOR A HARLEY BREAKOUT 2013. MY DRIVING IS A T2 MILE STRETCH FROM OAKLAND TO RICHMOND CA TO WORK AND FROM RICHMOND TO HAYWARD 16 MILES TWICE A WEEK TO WORK PART TIME AS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR. TRIPS TO LOS ANGELES ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR. NO OTHER TRIPS TO SURROUNDING AREAS JUST RIDING AROUND TOWN AT LOW SPEED EVERY WEEKEND. BOTH REAR TIRES SHOWED SIGNS OF FAILURE AT ABOUT 3K WITH CRACKS SPANNING THE BREATH OF THE TIRE. THE FIRST HAD SEVERAL CRACKS, WHEN THE FRONT DID THE SAME THING I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TREAD WAS BELOW 32. I DID NOT GO AT FIRST CAUSE I HAD ALREADY BEEN HAVING RUNAROUND WITH THEM SCAMMING WARRANTY REPAIRS. BUT WHEN THE FRONT CRACKED ABOUT 4K I WAS SURE IT WAS THE TIRES AND WENT IN. THE FIRST 1.5K WAS DONE AT OR BELOW 50 MPS CAUSE THE BIKE WAS NEW AND IT WAS MY FIRST MOTORCYCLE AFTER TAKING THE SAFETY COURSE IN 2008 BOUGHT BIKE 2013. I AM AN EXCELLENT BICYCLER. SWITCHED TO PERILLI AND A FINE TIRE THE NIGHT DRAGON, DROVE TILL SLICK AND RAINY SEASON APPROACH BEFORE CHANGE. I HAD BEEN CHECKING THESE AND JUST NOTICED A CRACK THAT LOOKS DEEPER AND THE START ON ONE SIDE AND SPANS THE TIME TO THINNER ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHEN I WENT IN TO CHANGE THE FIRST ONES THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE FRONT AND ASKED WHERE I HAD BEEN KEEPING THE BIKE. INSIDE AND IT IS 6 MONTHS OLD. I AM 68 SO REMEMBER THOSE RUBBER TIRES WE USED TO MAKE GO CARTS ETC, YOU COULD TELL WHEN IT WAS DRIED AND THEY REMINDED ME OF THAT BUT I SAID WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT MOTOR CYCLE TIRES IN 2012. TALKED TO REVZILLA ABOUT CRACKS AND DO CHUNKS COME OFF AT SPEED. HE SAID HE HAS SEEN THAT AT TRACKS BUT IT IS MORE A MATTER OF TEMPERATURE THAN SPEED, WHICH MAKES SENSE. I WAS AT THE SHOP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE MACHANIC SAID HE STILL HAD THE TIRE. I WILL CHECK AND SEE. CANT SEEM TO FIND THE PICS I HAD.
