I am new to HD's and can't wait to get one. I am going to look at a 2006 softail deluxe tomorrow. the bike has only 4000 miles and its beautiful. However a couple guys I work with have told me not to get a 2006 because they say that that year has had nothing but problems with EFI. Is this true? Since I am going to look tomorrow, and I need to know if I should stay away from 2006's or not, I decided to go to the folks who would know best. So please help me out!

 

My wife had an '06 Deluxe and never had a minutes problem with it.

 

I never heard anything negative about the 06. I own an 05 Deluxe and have never experienced any problems other than the floorboards coming off. Quick fix or replace. Sounds like a great bike with few miles. What color is she?

06 no problems here

 

she's a two tone black/white beauty....I am glad to hear these responses, because I am really looking forward to riding it home...

 

Never heard of EFI issues with 06 either.

I never heard of any EFI problems on the 2006 models.

I have an 06 Deluxe. Not a single problem-best bike I have ever owned.

 

I have a 2006 EFI Heritage. Never had a problem...very dependable.

 

efi is pretty reliable, but if you switch pipes or the a/c you have to spend alot of money for a tuner and sometimes a dyno session. with a carb its much cheaper and simpler.
