Well, I just go back from the dealer. Not too keen on their Service Writer but the techs are Ok.

Tech came out and listened to the bike. Said something is definitely wrong and wil look at it today or tomorow am. Said if parts are not an issuethe bike "should" be ready in a couple days.

I hope so because we plan on leaving for a weekend ride to the Kangamanga (sp) Highway in New Hampshire at noon on Friday.

Wish me luck!!!!

Sammi

 

hope ya get it back in time. When I went up to the rally in Laconia this summer we took a ride along that highway, it is great! Very nice riding up around there. Wish I could get up there more often.

Good luck, and I think it's Kangamangus? Anyway, who cares, its a great ride. If ya go, enjoy.

 

Here is your problem part. It is all over this form for the past year.

 

Harley-Davidson Recalls 2006 Six-Speed Dyna Motorcycle Transmissions
Harley-Davidson recalls its new six-speed transmissions in its Dyna series motorcycles to correct a potentially erroneous neutral indication. By Art Friedman.[/align]



[/align]
Harley-Davidson is recalling approximately 13,400 Dyna series motorcycles to correct a problem with the six-speed transmission that was introduced with the 2006 models. Apparently the neutral light may come on when the bike isn't actually in neutral, so the rider could release the clutch believing the motorcycle is not in gear and have the motorcycle lunge forward.
The three parts needed to correct the problem will be available at dealers starting December 12, and Harley will even pick-up and deliver the bikes at no charge. Until the recall service is performed, riders should simply release the clutch with care instead of accepting the neutral light's indication. There apparently have been a couple of incidents but no injuries as a result of this situation.
This isn't the only issue that has arisen concerning the new six-speed powertrain. Harley has told owners that they will need to replace the inner primary-drive bearing every 15,000 miles, although the company apparently will pick up the tab for that indefinitely. It also tells owners to replace the primary-drive lubricant at 5000-mile intervals.
On the corporate side, Harley sees little impact on its bottom line or its projected production figures, which are 329,000 motorcycles for 2005.
The Harley-Davidson press release concerning the recall follows.
HARLEY-DAVIDSON ANNOUNCES SAFETY RECALL AND RELATED CUSTOMER CARE PLAN

[/align]
MILWAUKEE (November 22, 2005) Harley-Davidson Motor Company has issued a voluntary safety recall on 2006 model year Dyna series motorcycles built between June 9 and October 19, 2005. Approximately 13,400 motorcycles are included in the recall. The transmissions in the affected motorcycles have a defect which under certain circumstances may allow them to go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated.
As part of its Initial Care Program for 2006 Dyna motorcycles, the Company will provide owners with free pick-up and delivery, if desired. This service will commence and recall kits will be available at dealerships beginning the week of December 12, 2005.
The Company estimates that the costs associated with this voluntary recall will be less than $5.0 million and it will reserve these costs in the fourth quarter of this year. The Company also expects to meet its previously-announced wholesale shipment target for 2005.

Does anybody have a link from HD where HD says this?

Still looking! I have seen it once before for a friend of mines bike.

 

I heard about the false neutral recall.

Been looking (unsuccessfully so far) to see if there's somethingabout HD picking up the cost to replace the inner primary bearing after the 2 year warranty is up.

This is from a early form see if your bike is on the recall.

Enter your vin here and it will tell you if there are any recalls due you. If nothing shows, they you are in the clear.

OK now I get it.

What you meant to say was -

15,000 of The 06 lowrider were recalled
for the false neutral.

Did the HD service check.

Nothing on a "recall" about the bearing. Just says replace every 15,000 miles.

Anybody buy an 06 dyna in '05 and have the bearing fail after the warranty expired?

Wondering if HD will fix for free?

Doubt that they would. Just curious because if this sucker fails again after the warranty is up I won't be too f%#@ing happy!!!

Might have to get that Road King earlier than I wanted.
