Turn signal buttons require two pushes to activate after a pass. For example, when passing I activate the left signal with one push. As I complete the pass, I press the right signal to merge back into the lane, but it only cancels the left signal. I have to press the right signal button a second time to activate the right signal. It will work with one button press if the other signal is not activated. This signal button activation should be single press no matter if the other signal is activated or not. Seems like a simple software update to me. I have never had a motorcycle that did this before.

Due to a known manufacturing issue the coil pack wiring was faulty on my motorcycle. It happened twice while I was out riding and both times the motorcycle shut down unexpectedly on me. The second time was almost catastrophic but I was able to ride in neutral to a breakdown lane. I bought the bike in July 2025 and the first issue I had was in august 2025. The issue was brought in, resolved and then a few days later the issue happened again and was once again serviced and resolved in accordance with the Harley Davidson service bulletin. The issue again happened in June 2026 and has been fixed by a different dealer. This is an extremely dangerous issue that should be recalled.

The 2025 Road Glide throttle is malfunctioning. The bike is 5 days old. The throttle is hyper-sensitive. It also is inconsistent in power even when the throttle is held steady it will surge. The bike will tend to pop forward - lurch ahead at slow speeds, especially when coming to a stop. At times the bike will also not reach idle, it races to 2100 RPM and stays at that level at a complete stop. The bike throttle is not in the drivers control and feels very unsafe.

I recently purchased, 9/12/2025, a 2025 Harley FLTRX. The turn signals operate erratically. When approaching a turn I energize the appropriate turn signal and it may or may not stay on for more than 3-4 seconds before reaching the turn. I am trying to concentrate on the traffic and not looking to see if my turn signal is still energized. I recently had a near miss with another vehicle due to this issue. I spoke to the dealership and Harley Davidson Motor Company and they are not aware of any turn signal issues. I have been monitoring this issue over the last 4 weeks and it occurs more often than not.

This is a Safety Concern with the Skyline OS, the software that runs on the motorcycle. Most users use Apple CarPlay or equivalent for navigation on the motorcycle. For the Apps to work, you must have a headset connected to the motorcycle via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth system is not reliable and has constant disconnects. Sometimes it will work great, most times it does not. When you lose connection from the headset, you lose navigation. I recently traveled around Lake Superior and found my self wanting to try to reconnect while riding, watching the screen (which is also a touch screen), trying to get my navigation back, or parking on the side of the rode. I hope you can understand where this…

I am looking for help in reporting an issue. I have been told by my dealership they understand it is a problem; however, there is nothing they can do about it even though it is a safety issue. My motorcycle has been prematurely canceling the turn signals, prior to a partial/full turn since the date of purchase [XXX]. Nearly every time the left/right turn signals were activated, in a straight away and at a relative constant speed, they would turn off after 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 12, 14, 15 or 18 blinks. There is no pattern to the number of turn signal blinks and premature cancellation except that it generally happens between 10 and 44 mph. Very rarely would the turn signals make it to 20…
