New member, I just purchased my second Harley, a 2012 Electra Glide Ultra Classic, my previous bike was a 2007 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I have been riding street motorcycles since 1971.

The only things I have noticed is a shimmy on turns at 25/35 MPH and the right leg gets very hot, hot enough to be painful after 30/40 minutes of riding.

Is this normal?

 

what I would do is see if the float on the rotor has seized. you should be able to move the float up and down (not side to side) with just your pointer and thumb.

beyond that... warped rotor or front bearing issues which present themselves on turns at speed which you notice.

as for the right leg getting hot... get a header without a cat, increase the AFR with a tuner or xieds.

Just my 2 cents.

 

welcome to the forum


we can't diagnose a shimmy w/o more details but your hot right leg can be cured by removing the catalytic converter
