ON SEPT 14 2015 WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MY DRIVE BELT BROKE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLOW SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. THE BELT WAS FAIRLY NEW AND HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO BY A HARLEY DEALER IN VIRGINIA.

MOTORCYCLE QUITS WHILE RIDING. CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED IN JUNE, 2008. ON A RIDE WITH THE MOTORCYCLE ON 6/20/2008. THE MOTORCYCLE LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL, WHILE RIDING IN TRAFFIC. RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC SINCE BRAKE LIGHTS AND EMERGENCY SIGNALS DO NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT ELECTRICAL POWER. GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD AND AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, THE POWER IS RESTORED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE SAME DAY AND IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THE DEALER HAS NO REMEDY, OTHER THAN TO HAVE ME LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR LABOR INTENSIVE DIAGNOSIS AT MY EXPENSE. PLEASE ADVISE. REPLACEMENT OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE DEALER SAID THE WELD WAS DEFECTIVE ON THE FRAME. THE ONLY POSSIBLE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE FRAME. IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED SAFELY. *NM
