RE: Clunking front end on FLSTC
Thanks to all that responded to my question! I took your advice and took my bike back to the dealer today. I handed them all the nice comments that you all wrote about the clunking noise (because they claimed they've never heard of the problem)...My saleperson notified them that I was coming and what the problem was...basically put in a kind word for me so they wouldn't give me the run around. They greeted me cordially, took the bike for a test ride, returned and agreed the clunking noise was not normal and put their best mechanic on it. 1.5 hours later, wallah....problem fixed..no more noise!!! And I mean zero, notta! now when I hit a bump, hole, manhole cover...I get no sound! NOW MY BIKE IS PERFECT!!!! Took the wife out for cool ride in the mountains with dinner....she purred like a kitten and never made a sound.
They told me it was the same thing that everyone had mentioned...Retorque the neck bolt. However, they did tell me that they had to put it on a lift and check the "Fall Away" Then everything up front was loosened and the main neck bolt tightend where it should be. Then the rest followed. That's how they described it anyhow. They didn't seem to frivilous with the exact procedure...guess they like to keep their secrets and the maintenance in their shop. Anyhow, I'm a happy camper and my harley is my second wife now, with the first's approval of course! LOL Thanks again to you all for your input. By the way, I bought some passenger floor boards while I was waiting for my bike....I'm sure they liked that too! All is well, Ride on!
