Recent owner complaints
- Electrical system
Battery goes dead. Motorcycle would not start. Dealership has no idea what happened. Fuel pump issues on this model as well as electrical issues. The manufacturer has made modifications on the 2024 and newer models. They should replace all of the defective parts.
- Fuel/propulsion system
Fuel pump has become excessivily loud to the point of you have to turn up the radio volume in helmet to hear music. During start up the noise is very loud as to someone raising their voice levels. Harley Davidson Dealer states that until the pump finally fails they will not fix or replace.
- Fuel/propulsion system
There is an issue with the alcohol in the fuel, causing degradation within the fuel tank and leaving corrosive deposits in the filter screens within the fuel pump, causing the fuel pump to fail. The fuel pump was replaced in the summer of 23 and I now have another fuel pump failing this date January 17, 2025.
- Electrical system
I was participating in a funeral procession ride for a fallen fellow law enforcement officer with approximately 20 plus riders. During the procession I was riding my motorcycle at highway speeds of 75 mph when my motorcycle shut off completely. Luckily I was able to alert the riders around me and I was able to pull over to the shoulder. At the highway shoulder, I was able to restart my motorcycle and resumed the ride. A few hours later, I was almost home when my motorcycle shut off again in the same manner at busy intersection. This time I was stopped at a red light, when it turned green, I travelled a few feet when it happened. I was in the left lane of the light, when i experienced the…

Two issues. Please consider ordering a recall for this 2022 year model. 1. Passenger grab rail. The first time I pulled up on the rail to place the motorcycle on the center stand (as instructed in the owners manual), the grab handle broke, separated from the dowl connecting point. Had this occurred while riding with a passenger this could have led to my passenger falling off the bike. It is useless now. The service manager at the Harley-Davidson dealership says they cannot fix it as the bike is out of warranty. It is a defect. 2. The coolant hose from the radiator is routed approximately 1/4 inch from the front exhaust header causing the bike to run extremely hot. The service manager at the…
- Engine
The coolant hose on the lower right side of the radiator is positioned very closely to the front cylinder exhaust pipe. Installation guidance is 7mm clearance prior to any hose bulge due to temperatures associated with engine cooling. This resulted in the coolant hose being exposed to very high temperatures, causing it to melt to the point of coolant exiting the system. The spray of coolant is positioned in such a way that it sprays onto the rider, the right side of the rear tire and the road, posing significant hazard to the rider and the vehicle if operated at anything greater than approximately 10 mph. The manufacturer is aware of the issue as they corrected it in the 2023 model year…

The motorcycle was bought new in January and it has a problem occasionally where when stopping and using the quick shifter to down shift the bike jumps up in RPM and surges forward uncontrollably. This overpowers the brakes and causes a far longer stopping distance than what is planned. I have been to Brandywine Harley Davidson and Rommel Harley Davidson and they both told me that I would have to pay between 75 to 120$ just for them to do a diagnostics on it. I told them that this was a safety concern and should be fixed under warranty but they said that they would still charge a diagnostic fee, but the parts would be covered. I then called Harley corporate to report the safety concern and…
