Clutch began slipping at 14,000 miles while in 6th gear while on interstate.resulted in evasive maneuvers being taken by myself and other motorists to avoid collision, as i was in the middle lane.dealership stated that the clutch is not covered in warranty.
While on a trip through colorado i was descending a steep mountain grade. I applied light pressure to the front brake and felt a vibration in the front end. As i increased thefront brake pressure while attempting to slow for a tight turn, the vibration increased until the entire motorcycle shook. The vibration ceased once the speed was reduced below about 30 mph or brake pressure was released. This situation caused me surprise and distraction in a critical stage of operation and it is my belief that loss of control is possible in certain situations. I immediately called my dealership and after several calls to harley davidson for advice they replaced the two front rotors that had been checked twice and found to be within "specs." vehicle now operates normally.
December 23, 2016, while riding my harley davidson flhtk ultra limited motorcycle at approximately 45 mph on a straight section interstate 295 in the district of columbia, the right saddlebag pins from the receptacles, allowing the saddlebag to detach from the motorcycle. This event caused a traffic hazard for other motorists. The weather was clear and the road surface was dry and relatively even. The saddlebags were checked approximately 25 minutes before the event, prior to operating the motorcycle, and nothing unusual was observed. This event occurred after recall work was performed to replace the original defective pin connectors (nhtsa campaign number: 15v427000). The replacement design of the pin connectors has not resolved the issue that could lead to unwanted detachment of the saddlebags. An insurance claim has been filed with geico motorcycle and is in process. Photos have been taken and will be uploaded.
