U guys that don't have problems
Well good for u. Every time I turn around it is something else that goes wrong with the f'ing bike. I could pull out the list but my gosh darn fingers would get to sore from typing
Sorry for the rant love the bike when it is working right but damn. I wish that would happen for more than two months
It is just one thing after another

Maybe you have a lemon. It happens with every type of vehicle. I have three Harleys now with tens of thousands of miles and no issues. SJ Ron

I know why mine does give me many problems ,even with the miles I put on them.
Bubbda don't work on it,Arlen Ness has no parts on it. And I don't have an INDY.
I have a great dealer.
The 2011 died while Deer hunting so lets see how well the 2013 does.

Bought it 3yrs ago with 291 miles on it and now has 18k but like I said in my post it has been nothing but issue after issue.
Nothing major yet but I suspect that will be just around the comer cause if the way things have been going.
Quick example just 2 weeks ago the speedo dies on a 18k bike. Well that is not a cheap repair if u don't no that.
Now tonight start the bike and the f'ing signal light won't shut off.
I could go on and on and on

I see you're in fla, salt air can cause problems. c'mon, not that much to a bike compared to a car. Let us know what troubles you're having, might be a common denominator.

Help us here, what year and model??
From my experience, Harley riders fall into two general categories:
Those that buy new and rely on warranty...
Those tha buy used and have the mechanical ability to keep it going...
I am the second of the two, I prefer to do my own work because I am too impatient to wait for someone else to fix my ride..
I have been through many Harleys from Shovels to TC's and have rarely had any trouble getting 60 - 100k with nothing other than routine maintenance, the Shovels would be closer to the 60k, lol
There are occasional bad designs such as early TC cam tensioners that create all kinds of trouble but overall, I have believe Harleys are very reliable..

I am not in the mood to haul out the envelope of sh** and type them all out right now.
I have never owned anything that has had as many issues as this thing has and that means all of everything I have owned together including snowmobile's
