MOTORCYCLE QUIT WORKING WHILE RIDING. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER THEN PURCHASED A NEW CIRCUIT BREAKER AND HAD IT INSTALLED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITHIN 6 MONTHS. CONSUMER THEN REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH A FUSE, AND PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED.*AK

Filed Sep 8, 2003NE

2000 ROAD KING FLHRI...STATOR COIL TOO WEAK FOR LOAD AND BURNS OUT. THE FUEL INJECTED MODEL WILL STOP WHEN THAT HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. I'VE BURNED OUT ONE, A FRIEND HAS BURNED OUT TWO IN THE SAME BIKE. HARLEY HAS A NEW STATOR THAT WILL HANDLE THE LOAD, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR HAVE I SEEN A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THE SUBJECT. *AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Mar 18, 2004. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
