| Strong gasoline fumes coming from the motorcycle in the garage into the house. i had to air out the house it was so bad. i just parked the bike in the garage from a less than 20 mile trip and half a tank of gas. i could not find any leaks and the gas cap was on securely. | |||
| STEERING | |||
| 04/22/2011 | |||
| As the motorcycle decelerates between 40 and 36 mph, the handlebars begin to wobble and shake if hand pressure is reduced or removed from the handlebars. if you don' t grip the handlebars tightly, the steering wobble intensifies violently to the point where you would lose control. this started the day i picked up the bike (brand new). at the 1000 mile check-up, they claim to have adjusted the steering head bearing, but the problem persists. after further complaints, their response ranges from it doesn't do it for us to there's is nothing we can do about it. i have noticed hundreds of similar complaints from other riders on various h-d owner forums, but the company is in denial. | |||

| When slowing down the front steering mechanism will radically swerve left-right-left and so forth when you cross 42 mph. if cruising at 55 and you enter a town and let go of the handle bar to adjust your hat as the bike crosses 42 mph the steering head will shake violently and only quick reflexes to grab the bar will save you from a crash. this has been reported by many people on the same model and year of bike. the problem is the steering head bearings are mal-adjusted from the factory. you can read all about this here: http://www.roadglide.org/showthread.php?t=3582 | |||
