What owners report
The Dunlop back tire cracked in center while less than half worn. Thread depth new is 8/32 inch and tire check 5/32 inch.
The coolant pump failed causing the engine to over heat which I was informed is a known issue with this year model. Plus my ABS system failed which makes the bike unable to operate.
WE WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES INSTANTLY LOCKED UP. WE WENT FROM 70 TO 0 IN SECONDS. WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AS WE NEEDED TO CLEAR OTHER BIKES. PEOPLE BEHIND US CLAIM THE BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON NOR DID THE ABS LIGHT TO INDICATE AN ISSUE. THE BRAKES REMAINED LOCKED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD EVEN MOVE THE BIKE. THE BIKE WAS TRAILER TO HD IN FREDERICK WHERE THEY CLAIM IT'S A FAULTY ABS MODULE. NOW HD IS FIGHTING THE REPAIR. SEARCHING ONLINE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ABS MODULES. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY AND A LESSER EXPERIENCED RIDER WOULD HAVE DROPPED THE BIKE WHEN IT BIT DOWN HARD, THE FRONT END OF THE BIKE DROPPE
ABS FAILURE, NO ABS FAILURE LIGHT ON. RIDING ON I82 BETWEEN KENNEWICK WA AND UMATILLA OR. RIDING AT 70 MPH, ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE FOR SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC AND DISCOVERED REAR BRAKE PEDAL IN HYDRAULIC LOCK CONDITION, UNABLE TO PUSH PEDAL DOWN...SO NO REAR BRAKE. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO GET HARLEY HOME SAFELY. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V076000 EXIST FOR EARLIER MODELS WITH SAME ABS PROBLEM. COST OF REPAIR $1500 TO $2000. NEED SAME RECALL FOR LATER YEARS
LAST YEAR AT APROX 20K MILES ON A LONG STRETCH OF HIGHWAY THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE, HAD TO HAVE IT HAULED IN ON WRECKER TO GET FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT PAY FOR THAT , WELL HERE IT IS APROX 13K MILES SINCE THEN AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN
