Hello friends,
I have a serious problem with my Street 750. I bought this new from HD dealer, Qatar in April 2016 and since then till now it around 2000 Kms in Odometer. In April and May it was used 5 days a week and since June only on weekends early morning. My driving pattern – love to cruise in between 80 – 100 Kms speed straight at least one hour and halt for 20 – 30 min and again if time permits.
Couple of weeks before found an oil spill on the front engine fins and took that to dealer – Along with the First service, they did the gasket change. I did change the stock exhaust from the dealer and they fixed Vance & Hines, which they said is good for sound – and it is true as well. Far better than the sawing machine sound of stock exhaust.

Last Friday while on my morning ride, after around 1 hrs., suddenly the forward motion power is gone and even after the gear shift, it's not moving ahead. The gear shift is possible but the no forward movement. Engine is roaring up on accelerating, but no movement. – Clutch cable is operative and there is no burning smell of any kind. Fuel was also fine –
Took the machine to HD dealer and to my shock and also to their shock the found the camshaft sprocket holding bolt is broke and that had an impact on the camshaft, belt etc..ect.
As it is still covered under 2 years warranty, HD will do a full replacement and repair of – but I am bit confused and doubting on build quality of this Street 750. They said all parts are made in US factory and only assembling is done in India, What can be the reason for such a bad level of performance – First the oil leak and now this miss-hap. Sounds something bad.

Anyone can throw some light on this? What can be reason for this – Also is it ideal to keep this bike – or rather do an upgrade – Only because of low budget I went for Street 750, but still at this cost even it is very bad quality right – HD Doha is saying they never had such experience for the entire lot they sold over here in Qatar.

 

I have heard few bad things about the Street, and any mishaps seem to be isolated. This is a great forum, but it's Street activity is minimum. I am on another forum and a group on FB, which are more active and more Street specific. Perhaps a post to one of these sites can shed some light for you. There are 1000s of members from all over the world.

Thank you my friend
Yes, I did registered just now in that forum that you mentioned and also in fb page

 

H-D sold over 10,000 2015 units and are on track for a higher number this year. The 750 engine was selected to replace the XR750 flat track racing engine this year. It has made a good showing so far.

Other than the initial fuel pump problems I have not heard of any other issues.

It is unusual for that bolt to break as it only spins and is not subjected to forces like the various shafts in the drive train. I suspect that it was over torqued.

The matter is being fixed by your dealer and you will be back on the road soon.

Happy and safe riding brother.

 

I was confused, That is not a camshaft. If you cam shaft bolt broke your engine wouldn't run, along with possible engine damage.
The Picture you posted is the transmission output shaft. You front drive pulley probably came off the output shaft due to the broken bolt.
