Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
200 miles, intermittant electrical problems, tach-speedo quit working, now and then, never fixed. 1000 miles bike fouls rear plug, fix myself (clean plug) and take to glendale HD. Everything checks out. Thank you. 2000 miles rear plug fouls again. Take to Glendale HD, everything checks out again, Take bike back home in truck and find it is running on one cylinder. Rear plug is fouled. Buy two new plugs (ride my old CL350 to Glendale HD to huy plugs) runs Ok. Bike seems to be using oil. 5000 mile service, take in, and California HD calls, says the top-end is shot. Bike will be down for 2-3 weeks. Calif HD non-responsive in my inquires on what happened to motor on bike, some bozo said they were waiting for parts, but hadn't taken bike apart yet. I took excellent care of it. Now I'm screwed. Bike is a lemon. I've been riding for 30 years and this is my 3rd HD product. Never had these problems. Woe is me.
