THE FAILURE HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF RIDING AND WARMED UP. THE ENGINE AND LIGHTS SIMPLY STOP WORKING AND THEN MAY START RIGHT BACK UP OR NOT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TAKE THE BIKE OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE COIL, MAP SENSOR,CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE TO NO AVAIL. I AM PRESENTLY NOT ABLE TO RIDE MY HD AND IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THE ROTOR ON MY 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA STREET BOB, WAS BOLTED ON. THE BOLTS STRIPPED AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR AND STATER, CAUSING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREME ACCIDENT. IT CAUSED THE BIKE TO SHUT DOWN. HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED THIS AS A FLAW SINCE THE NEW ROTOR IS WELDED NOT BOLTED BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOTHING I DID CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AND YET I AM FORCED TO PUT MONEY INTO A MOTORCYCLE THAT IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. *TR

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
