Default 06 RoadKing problems

I bought my 06 roadking in febuary and all was great until 3 weeks ago it blew the intake seals but that turned out well got free 25 degree 5 port fuel injectors and the down load free added rush cut exhuast still not bad. But now they have changed my motor mount twice and the damn thing will rattle your teeth lose when I pull the clutch in. It is not the same same as it was B/F the add ons does anybody know or has had any problmes w/ similar add ons. Please let me know. The local dealer is trying to get hold of the rep. from H-D for ansewers but I was hoping you guys can help.

Default RE: 06 RoadKing problems

First off... Welcome ..... Please post an intro in the NEW MEMBERS SECTION at your earliest...

I had a similar motor problem on a bike...

Customer developed a shimmy and shake that would become quite painful, even off idle.....

Installed Velva-Ride motor mounts, Buell Mounts, and a newer style of stabilizer link... Still had problem....

Removed the top end (Heads and Cylinders)... Found that the flywheels had scissored slightly... about .020" runout on the pinions total...

HD replaced the motor with a whole new assy and it runs like a top now...

What helped out was that we sent VIDEO of the dial indicators movement with the motor being revolved....

Make sure that your dealership is ADVOCATING for you, and ask for the SOAR to be there when the motor is evaluated...
