What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Hydraulic clutch will not disengage at stops and unable to put into neutral near idle or when stopping. Extremely dangerous at intersections, stop lights, in traffic, etc. Brakes must be used to keep bike stopped while in gear or kill the engine to get the transmission into neutral.
The drivetrain is very loud in neutral and having load banging noises at start up and kick backs.
The contact stated while driving approximately 80 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate violently with a sudden loss of steering. The vehicle independently wandered out of the lane but the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
My 2007 harley davidson ultra classis eletra glide rear pulley bolts sheared of completely inside the wheel. The bike has been maintained well above harley davidson requirements. The bike has only 18,000 mile and had already had the 20,000 mile service completed.
Engine also has repeated rear cylinder oil leaks, I am currently on my third cylinder that they are replacing on my bike. The dealer has not been able to fix the map, or the cause of my oil leaks.
The contact noticed oil leaking from the crankcase near the rear cylinder. He took the vehicle to be repaired. The current mileage was 3,875 and failure mileage was 3,775. No other vehicle information was available.
I purchased a 2007 harley davidson ultra classic screaming eagle and after 10k miles it stared leaking oil due to a manufacturers defect. There are probably hundreds same model bike with the same problem. The engine should be replaced,but harley won't do it...
