What owners report
REAR SPROCKET BOLTS ARE KNOWN TO BACK OUT AND HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES REGARDING THE DYNAS AND HAS YET TO INFORM THE PUBLIC. MY BOLTS BACKED OUT TWICE. ONCE LAST NIGHT AND ONCE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. MY HARLEY IS NOW BACK AT THE HARLEY DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER KNOWS IT IS AN. ISSUE BUT BY HARLEY CONTRACT HE IS NOT ABLE TO DISCLOSE THE ISSUE TO THE NHTSA WHICH COULD HAVE COST MULTIPLE DEATHS.
SCREWS HOLDING 2 PIECE ROTOR ASSEMBLY CAME LOOSE ON FWY ON WAY TO WORK.HEARD A FAINT METALLIC KNOCK ON LEFT SIDE BY PRIMARY COVER. AFTER WORK FIRED IT UP AND HEADED TO MECHANIC SHOP (NON HD). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO TO AVOID MORE DAMAGE AND POSS ACCIDENT I HAD AAA TOW IT TO BIKE SHOP. THEY HAD TO REPLACE ROTOR,STATOR, VOLT REG AND BATTERY WHEN STATOR WINDINGS SHORTED OUT. HD EXTREMELY LUCKY I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY DESIGN/ENGINEERING/QUALITY CONTROL ISSUES. REALLY , A 3 CENT SCREW COMES UNDONE AT FWY SPEEDS ??? IF HD IS GONNA PUT OUT PRODUCT LIKE THIS AND NOT ISSUE RECALLS FOR KNOWN DEFECTS, THEY SHOULD PROB NOT KEEP SELLING BIKES IN CA, TOO
