Default Clutch Recall

I've been waiting a couple of months now for my dealership to receive a clutch kit for MY bike. Supposedly they were only receiving one or two kits a week or every other week.

I finally got the call to bring her in for the job. BUT, after two days in the shop they tell me MOCO wanted the kits they had sent back and new clutch kits would be sent at a later date.

The dealer said they didnt have a clue?? But suspected it had something with the Govt getting involved in the recall.

I asked if people that already had the recall done would have to have another clutch kit installed but they couldn't answer that question.

I haven't seen or heard anymore news on this and I'm curious if anyone else has heard anything.

At this point I dont know when my clutch is getting replaced and hoping nothing will go wrong in the interm.

Keith

My dealer seems to have enough. I took mine in for service, and they did the recall then. ...a few months ago.

maybe you need a new dealer,

You're in Illinois. They don't give a rats *** how long you wait. You can't ride at least until July. Take care of us warm weather riders first.

This gives me some confidence back that I was beginning to lose in my dealer.

I have been waiting like most. But the call came in Saturday that my number came up. I dropped the bike off Saturday and it is ready to go. I just have to get back and pick her up.

Sorry but if I had to bet someone pushed harder and got your parts.

My friend had been waiting for his to be done. Was scheduled for today but suddenly on Sat or Sun the dealer called and said that it couldn't be done because Harley said not to do it. Dealer had no other info.
