Question Has anyone experienced this?

Was out riding with the gang last weekend on my 2008 Dyna FXDL when one of my buddies tells me my rear sproket (pulley) was wobbling. When i got home I checked to ensure all bolts were tight...and they were. So I take it to the stealer. After waiting about an hour they said, they is something wrong and they will need to dismantle the real wheel to find out. That was tonight, so I won't know the problem untill tomorrow.

odd that the bolts are tight...

my guess is either the bolts have stretched or the hub is warped.

just a guess though, post back with what the dealer says.

Default Hey Palmbeach...

did you feel any vibrations or anything unusual from this before or after you were told of it?

You are not the first on this forum and I'm sure you won't be the last. It's going to take a wrongful death lawsuit to wake up those in charge over at MOCO.

I heard from the Stealer, they said the pulley was defective and was bent. They are going to replace it under warrenty. They said it will take 1-2 weeks to get it! Can you belive that! 1-2 weeks! Are f--ken kidding me or what! Then they told me I need a new rear tire! I just got 8100 miles on it! I asked them, since they got the back wheel off, how much will it cost to purchase and install a new stack tire. They said $250.00! Can you freaken believe that! I said no thanks. What crap!

Black Bart, no vibrations that I noticed, but if it came that way when I bought it, I would have thought the vibration was normal.
