What owners report
I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH IN 5TH GEAR WHEN MY MOTORCYCLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO LIMP-MODE AND WOULD NOT TRAVEL ANY FASTER THAN 25 MPH. I WAS NEAR A SERVICE STATION, SO I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME TRAVELING 25 MPH, AS FRUSTRATED CARS FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND ME. MY HARLEY DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING THAT TRIGGERED THE LIMP-MODE SENSOR.
I HAD BEEN RIDING FOR UNDER FIVE MINUTES, CITY TRAFFIC, SPEED LIMIT 25MPH. AS I SLOWED FOR A TURNING CAR MY REAR BRAKE FAILED BY THE PEDAL LOCKING. I CONTROLLED THE STOP AND RETURNED HOME. I'VE NOW BEEN TOLD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS FAILED AND THE REPAIR COST ARE TO BE AROUND 900.00. I FIND IT INCREDIBLY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MODULE FAILURE DEFAULTS TO A TOTAL LACK OF BRAKES! ONE MIGHT BE INCLINED TO THINK YOUD LOSE ABS FUNCTION, NOT TOTAL BRAKING!
WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE FRONT BRAKE WAS HARD AND WOULD NOT COMPRESS LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE COMING DOWN ROAD. IT RESULTED IN ME CRASHING MY BIKE IN THE ROADWAY.
WHILE RIDE ABOUT 65 MPH ON MAJOR HWY WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. THE BIKE JUST LOST POWER, MOTOR WENT INTO IDLE OR LIMP HOME MODE. RIDING IN LEFT LANE, WITH SHOULDER ONLY ABOUT 2 FOOT WIDE, I COULD NOT PULL OVER TO LEFT SHOULDER. WITH TRAFFIC PASSING ME @65 TO 70 MPH I WAS DOWN TO 15 MPH BEFORE I HAD ENOUGH CLEAR TRAFFIC BEFORE I COULD CHANGE LANES TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. TRAFFIC BEHIND ME PARTICULAR A 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME ALMOST CAME TO A STOP TO KEEP FROM RUNNING OVER ME. I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM FRIENDS AND HD FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL BIKE, FROM 08 THRU 12 IF SOME ONE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE GOING UP OR DOWN A HILL, GOING THRU INTERSECTION OR ON MA
SPROCKET ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED 2 TIMES.DEALER IS FIXING AT OWN EXPENSE WITH NEW IMPROVED SCREAMING EAGLE VERSION THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS NOW COMES STANDARD ON 20121 AND BEYOND MODELS. COULD CAUSE FATALITIES IF FAILS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HD PUTS ON NEW BIKES BUT WILL NOT FIX PREVIOUS MODELS. *TR
