Bike pulls extremly hard to left. could only be partially solved by moving engine over in frame. can not be told by dealer or hd if this is within factory specs. have had in several times with no resolve. spoke with someone at factory and was told this is not acceptable as engine is mounted exactly the same every time in a jig and moving engine is compensating for something else. dealer has never opened a warranty ticket with hd which makes me feel like they are hiding something. this has been going on since april. hd has no answers either. i want to make sure bike is safe. dt | |||

Design of throttle body is not done properly, when motorcycle vibrates throttle body will come loose and rpms will start to rev up. contacted dealer.*ak harley davidson is aware of the problem and has a remedy, the original screws on the throttle body that holds it to the intake manifold break, or vibrate out, causing throttle body to separate from intake, this causes large volumes of air to enter engine, increasing the rpm to over 4000, consumer had to use the ignition switch to shut the motorcycle down, the above is not the owners information. *slc |
