Anyone have any of the problems?
Two problems with my 2015 street glide.
1) Bike will not start in gear WITH the clutch lever pulled in. The little plunger behind the clutch lever Comes all the way out when lever is pulled in.Maybe neutral safety switch? Is there a way to check it?
2) No oil pressure shown on the info center. Sometimes it will show oil pressure for a quick second. When checked with a pressure gauge it has good pressure. Im thinking the sending unit is bad, any way to test the sending unit?
Thanks all

I have a 16 triglide. Sometimes it will start in gear with the clutch pulled in & brake on, & sometimes it won't.
As far as oil mine works good sitting still. Going down the road with the cruise set it will fluctuate sometimes by 8psi. I'll take it to the dealer this winter to see if they can find the reasons.

I had 2017 SGS, ended up trading for a used RK Police. My SGS had some weird quirks, neutral light come any gear any time and then not do it for 1,000s of miles. Once stared in gear, right in front of Service dept. damn near dumped it. Usually leave bike in neutral when parking, try not to start in gear. Other problem is trans fluid leaks into primary which makes for difficulty to find neutral. On the M8 section here is a big thread about adding trans fluid. Now I'm liking my 2015 RK Police, no issues.

On my '14 Ultra , the button releases and comes out when the lever is pulled. Look closely behind the lever and watch what it does. After I changed levers, mine wouldn't start with the clutch pulled in. Some filing on the flat part on back of the lever solved the problem, allowing the button to fully release.

I have a 2015 FLHTK(Ultra Limited) and the no start in gear issue was a bad leftside switch pack. My cruise did not work either because the computer did not know what gear the bike was in. Gear indicator did not work. Changed switch packs under warrenty and all is well so far.

+1 on the switch pack, same issues for my 15' you would think they would have fixed this by now. Your still under warranty, make HD fix it for you.
Not sure on the oil pressure issue, never really look at mine, but never noticed that the indicated pressure switched off.

14 RK, 20,000 miles, dont want to jinx myself but no issues yet, never needed a repair.
Though the RK has a cable clutch and im glad it does. Im almost leary of ever upgrading to a newer bike, no time for any issues at this point in my life.
