Tl* the contact owns a 2017 (na) harley-davidson road glide (fltr). While driving various speeds, the vehicle started to overheat, smoke, and a knocking noise was coming from the engine. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to simi valley harley-davidson (6190 condor dr, moorpark, ca 93021, (805) 552-9555) where it was diagnosed that the oil pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer informed the contact that the warranty was canceled and did not offer further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.

Abs failed while riding. I took to dealer and informed me that brake fluid has to be changed every 2 years which i hsve never heard before plus my ownrrs msnusl says inspect not change. I asked why this is not included in 5000 mile interval service if that is the case? Was able to bring bike stavely to stop worh back brakes.

Rear brake pedal locked up. Went to apply rear brake peddle would not move. Abs module locked up.

Engine loses power and goes into an idle mode. This has occurred a number of times the last being on a freeway which put me in grave danger do to the sudden lose of power and having car close behind and this occurs without any warning. Everyone that drives a motor cycle with this throttle by wires should be notified by hd and have this issue resolved before their lives are placed in jeopardy by this type of failure. Harley davidson motorcycles with the throttle by wire will go into a limp home mode. This is where you are accelerating and the motor basically shuts down and goes to just above an idle speed. This is extremely dangerous because the throttle by wire is failing. You could be accelerating to turn into traffic, across traffic or to get on the interstate and the throttle fails and goes into limp home mode and slows you to a top speed of 15 mph in 1st gear. In 6th gear i could only do 40 mph. This is not an isolated incident and harley knows they are failing. This is a recall offense. They have a service bulletin which i am attaching a link to for you.

Front brakes locked up. Would not apply.

After replacing front brake pads it was discovered that the front brake handle is locked and wont move when pressure is applied to activate front brakes. Took vehicle to dealership it was found that the hydraulic control unit has failed. Apparently it fails so much that there is a month long backorder to get the parts in to fix problem. This is a huge safety concern the front brakes are 70% of the bikes breaking power and if this issued happened while on the highways of california i'm certain it would result in an accident.

Harley davidson fltr 2009 (hd did not make an fltru (ultimate) in 2009) no lubrication in sealed hd factory wheel bearing... I had 26121 miles on my 09 roadglide when i did the chrome exchange for the same factory 28 spoke wheels and front forks as stock. I was due for all the maintenance anyway to include new tires so it made sense to make the upgrades at that time. I had all the bearings replaced. I have abs so the front bearings were hds from the local dealer. After only 3500 miles the right front bearing exploded. There was absolutely no lube in the "sealed bearing". Since i had the chrome exchange done at a local shop and not an hd dealer hd refused to even just replace the bearing. I have since found out that this is a know and common problem with hd motorcycles. Pictures of the exploded bearing are available. In one of the pictures the brown seen is not lube but rust. The bearing exploded on a thursday and i didn't take a picture of it until that following wednesday. How can hd get away with selling such defective parts and not even think they need to replace it. Let alone how incredibly dangerous this is. This has ruined my confidence in what was my dream bike. Any ideas on getting hd to do the right thing or how to fix this using required hd parts with the confidence that just another defective part is not being used? *tr

When driving down the road the front brake lever would not move when you applied pressure to lever to stop. Had to use rear brake to stop motorcycle. Pulled over to side of road and worked lever and seemed to free up and work ok. Restarted bike and drove off. Brakes seemed to work. Drove bike for about 30 miles and brake lever froze up again. No brakes in the front. Hard lever again. Frightening experience. Took bike home and let sit in garage. Started bike the next morning and backed out of garage. Hit front brake to slow bike down and lever was froze up again. Took bike to harley dealer and they replaced the abs hcu part number 48343-09. This all happened when the bike had 31268 miles on it. They tolded me that "this happens" noticed on fox news that they may have a recall. This happened in 10/2013 god forbid someone gets hurt from this problem. It is great to have rear brakes
