Do the Dyna Models, specifically the Dyna Super Glide Custom, have known problems with them? Do certain years have annoying little issues that make owners regret their purchase?

I would like a Harley that requires little wrenching in between the required factory service internals. Something that I can ride for years to come without doing more than putting gas in the tank, changing the fluids, and swapping tires.

Do the Dyna models provide that?

Thanks guys!

 

Only real common issues are with the '06 Dynas, and if you are aware of them and address them it isn't really a big deal. If I was shopping for one I'd probably go '07 and newer, just so it isn't a concern.

A modern Harley should be plenty reliable. The reliability concerns usually come when you start hot rodding them.

 

One problem my dyna has is it is too awesome! Hahathe newer bikes meaning from about 84-now are plenty reliable. Most of the issues you will have are when the bike isn't left stock and you or someone else does something to it

 

Damn freezing rain and snow this year was the main problem. I have a 2012 SB no issues. I do tighten loose bolts and such but that should be done on any bike.

 

Biggest problem is realizing how much better they are over the Touring bikes.

 

Answer is D: All of the above!

 

Here's some problems you'll face owning a Dyna:

You'll have bagger guys in do rags and wolf t-shirts telling you you can't ride long distance on a Dyna.

People will ask you if it's a Sportster.

Guys with Softails will make a point of telling you how they test rode a Dyna and their Softail rides better.

You'll have to cancel your eharmony account cause you'll be swimming in hot chicks.

 

Haha I'm liking these responses so far. The reason I ask is because all bikes no matter what make and model seem to have their issues. Bikes I have owned in the past had little things like the fuel gauge sensor being inaccurate, the speedometer being up to 10% off at times, and various whistles and squeaks. Granted these were cheaper Japanese sport bikes and not a much higher priced Harley. I suppose I have high expectations in terms of quality and craftsmanship of the Dyna model.

 

Yes. I can't seem to ride mine enough.

 

that tickled my ***** with a feather
