Angry VA Lemon Law

Has anyone use the VA lemon Law on Harley? I'm in the process and my Attorney tells me he is real sure they will have to take back the bike. I will know in 30 days or so.

I have a friend that used it on a car. They took the car back.

I never heard of a Harley that was bad enough to use it though.

We are kinda lucky there is a lemon law that applies to motorcycles in VA. I have never used it, but imagine it would have to be pretty bad situation to do so. So what's the deal with your bike? I can understand not giving out to much info if you are pending litigation.

His right grip is coming off. Better return the bike.

I take it Muddypaws is not going to come back and explain why his bike is a "lemon." I was pretty interested in that.

Through my Awesome detective skills I came up with this. -

New guy from Ophelia, VA. Currently own a 2009 CVO Ultra. Looking for a 2011.

Did HD get the rear jug o-ring issue fixed on the 110's,?
Ive read a bunch of them had to be fixed.?. some more than once.

The dealer replaced my right grip as it was coming off

So, his CVO either has a faulty grip or a rear jug o-ring issue.

I voted for right grip because that seems to be the most serious flaw.

For some reason, his bike can't pull cleanly to 16,000 rpm...
