I heard the saying went something like "if it wasn't leaking oil, it didn't have any."

 

[sm=lol.gif]heard that a few times before! And to the ones telling me to sell it or get an import, you missed the point entirely. Read the threads...most are about mods...what is the number 2 most common threads? Problems that's what. Problems that are moco's problem and they should be held accountable. I will not sell it for 3 reasons.....i really do luv the bike and i'm hoping it will be clear sailing from here on out, the 25% loss out the door and the fact that if I have anymore warranty issues I will make sure the dealer takes care of them, as they should and I am sure they will. Like I have been trying to communicate, people need to speak up and not settle. To those that are happy with no issues congrats, I wish it was that way for all of us.

 

That makes sense.

Seems you have had a few issues and I can understand your frustration. But an awfully lot of owners have had very good ownership experiences. I have never heard of the overheating and shutting down at 50mph thing. I have seen on other forums, metric bikes with desintigrated drive shafts to name just one potential disaster. If something is covered by warranty, you bet your *** I would have HD fixing it no matter how small.

 

No quality issues on my last two bikes.

I really have no ideea what you guys are experiencing.

 

Man those are some serious issues and I would be pissed as all hell too. I think your intention of this post was a very good one. Make them fix problems under warranty. Even if they seem small and as much of a pain in the *** as it can be to take it in for service that is the right thing to do, plus it's documented with the moco that way. Like everyone said every vehicle has lemon's, sorry your having so many problems.

 

Wow, sorry to hear that you've had a tough time with your bike. I am, however, happy to hear that your dealer has treated you right. There are many in this forum that have had baddealer experiences as well asbike problems. I have also owned several bikes in the past years, most recently, three Hondas and three HD'S. Two of the Honda's were pure junk, they had many problems that the dealer refused to deal with. These ranged from,bike popping out of first gear as you took off from a stop light, (safety?), to excessive oil consumption. All three of the HD's have been absolutely trouble free. The fit and finish were/are great and the paint flawless. I have close to 60K miles on my '03 Heritage and I would ride it anywhere, anytime. My '07 Heritage is still young at 20K miles and it's probably the nicest running HD I've owned.

 

Real Harleys leak. Not sure about tin cans and evos

 

Sorry to hear that you have had problems-i have been lucky I guess. 34k miles on my FLSTC and no warranty work or repairs needed so far-other than oil, brakes and tires.

 

I have had ZERO problems with my 2005 SE Fat Boy.

Hey, no fair! I have an Evo that leaks. I wanna be in the cool club too!
