I dropped my bike of last Saturday because it's still having the same sputtering and engine light issues that it's had for almost 6 months now.

1. The bike was originally taken to American H-D in April with this issue, and after keeping the bike for almost two weeks they weren’t able to find a problem.

2. Derek’s first phone call to H-D: H-D told me to take the bike to Brighton H-D and they would help them troubleshoot the problem.

3. The tech at Brighton H-D reset my TPS and never bothered to contact H-D or look any further into the issue. Needless to say, resetting the TPS didn’t fix the problem.

4. July 28th: Derek schedules a service appointment with American H-D to resolve the same issue. First available appointment...September 1st. Good thing Michigan has such a long riding season.

5. Derek’s second phone call to H-D: Since the tech at Brighton H-D never contacted H-D as he was instructed, I’m stuck taking it to the dealership one more time before H-D sends out a tech. They say to keep my appointment with American H-D and they will make sure one of their techs contact them.

6. Derek’s first phone call from American H-D: they had two techs put over 100 miles on the bike and they couldn’t recreate the problem. They did get two “historic” codes from the bike which were the Engine Temp Sensor and the Oxygen Sensor, but apparently because they were historic codes there’s nothing they need to do to fix it. They tell me at that point that they’ll call H-D to talk to one of their techs.

7. Derek’s second phone call from American H-D: They talked to H-D and they were able to recreate the sputtering and engine light flashing. Also, after discovering those issues H-D told them to check the grounds at which point they found the following issues. First, my throttle cable was rubbing through my spark plug wire. Same issue American H-D “fixed” last year. Second, my idle cable is chaffing. Same issue Brighton H-D supposedly fixed about a month ago. Third, there was some issue with my battery cables.

8. Derek’s third phone call from American H-D: they are working to correct the issues above, and if those don’t work, they’ll check the fuel pressure and check to see if there’s and intake leak.

LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON!

LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON!

IMPORTANT: Over the past week Fred at American H-D has called me multiple times to keep me up-to-date on the progress of my bike and their communications with H-D. This was very much appreciated.

I think your bike was getting used to hot chicks sitting on it all the time for pics, and just wants more of the same now that it's spoiled................Don't blame it a bit. :-)

Unfortunately no, I want to let the 1125R get a year so of possible bugs worked out and then I'll probably go back. Until then I bought a bike made in the same country as the new Buell motor. hint, hint. Will be here tomorrow.

As soon as a touch a motor I assimilate all knowledge of said motor and can have it apart and together with no problem!

I talked to Brad today. I guess Don crashed twice, and Brad was on his way to meet him at the hospital. Brad thought it might be a broken rib. Not good.

Hope everything turns out okay, a broken rib isn't as bad as it could be for sure. I'll bet the Dragon supports the local hospital with year around business from all the stories I hear year after year.

Geesh Don, that sucks. Like I posted before, its just as mentally challenging as it is physically. You only have two options going into some of those curves: Make it or crash...

Congrats on the new bike Dan...Want to take it to the track with me?
