Unhappy Brand new bike engine failure

Dear all,



I'm 2018 street rod owner my engine has failed after so few KM (870 KM) I bought my brand new bike from Kuwait Harley Davidson dealer and my bike now is with the dealer for warranty claim as manufacturing defect. I'm really upset for what happened to my bike especially the dealer will disassemble my engine after only so few KM, I'm looking forward to contact anyone from headquarters of Harley Davidson, please anyone can help me to reach them contact me and many thanks

I've heard all bikes from Kuwait HD were ticking time bombs....

What do you expect HD headquarters to do? If the dealer is making all necessary repairs under warranty what more can they do?

^^^Agree^^^

Let the system work...see what the dealer does. If fixed, ride it out b/c you have plenty of warranty remaining to give it a good check.
