Step 1) I printed out the PDF file Dawg posted and took it to my dealer,
Step 2) My Service manager said it could only be fixed if the owner complained and asked for it to be fixed.
Step 3) So I said "I am asking for it ot be fixed".
Step 4) Now we will wait for my dealer to order the parts
Step 5) and for Harley to make the parts
Step 6) and for Harley to ship the parts tp my dealer
Step 7) and wait for my dealer to contact me that they have the parts
Step 8) and then wait for the dealer to set a date to fix the problem.
Step 9) and then for my dealer to actually get my bike in and fix the porblem.

Thank gawd it's the slow time of the riding season.

Now I waana see them step up and admit to a few other things..Things like IDS and a missing third link and a weak comp sprocket and crank runnout and cracked exhaust headers and all those things that make a Harley so special......Kinda like Microsoft makes us windows users have to become computer experts instead of simply computer users.

Finally a post I can agree with

Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to just send all of us ride bells?

Nope, I hate them so much I bought 3 of them in last two years.

I'm just wishing they would be more responsive to common owner complaints and not say "It's normal" when they could admit the truth.

It's funny how all those "normal" problems get fixed the next model year or two, but up til then they didn't need fixing, huh?
