2015 harley davidson flhtkse.consumer writes in regards to a faulty ignition switch.the consumer stated when he attempted to start the bike, it shut off and would no restart.after several more attempts, the bike started and then shut off, and displayed a fault code " forks locked". The bike was towed to the nearest dealer. However, they were unable to find a problem.the bike was returned to the consumer, with the repairs. When the consumer attempted turn right after a complete stop, the bike shut down again and would not restart. The same message appeared on the screen.once again, the bike was towed and once at the dealer, it restarted and no problems were found. Once again, the bike shut off again, when it was returned to the consumer.the consumer was able to restart the vehicle.when the consumer arrived at the dealer, he demanded the ignition switch be replaced. So far, there have been problems.
A tappet catastrophically failed, causing complete engine failure.a complete engine failure on a motorcycle is a very dangerous event.many harley-davidson cvo 110 engines have experienced the exact same failure.the vehicle was in motion on a highway when the engine failed.harley-davidson is aware of the problem but refuses to acknowledge the defect, which is the result of bad metallurgy and poor design of the tappet to cam interface in the 110 twin-cam engines.these bikes should be recalled for replacement of the cams and tappets.again, the danger of a catastrophic engine failure in a motorcycle is extreme.a photo of the tappet failure is attached.
