Default Streetglide-found a problem

Wanted to let you guys/gals know of a problem I had in hopes of saving you some trouble. I have about 1900 miles on mine when I noticed the FM station not coming in real good, I thought it was just my location. Last night we rode about three hours and our friends said that the brake light was not coming on, I also noticed I had no light for the cruise. So today I pulled it all apart to wash it and look for the problem, well I found it.

Might want to check yours and see if the harness is close to the belt. I know it was not that way a few weeks ago, and must have worked it’s way loose and slid onto the belt.

Wow, that sucks. Minor fix which is good, luckily no other damage than the frayed harness. I'll be sure to inspect mine before departure tomorrow.

Thanks,
D

Thanks Drum, I can only imagine what else is likely to come loose. I'll be checking for that kind of stuff regularly......

I'm assuming that is covered under warranty?

I realize it's a quick fix, but unless people take this kind of stuff to the dealer it will continue to be a problem. One of the quickest ways for any consumer product company to firgure out a problem is to go to the consumer data. That may be a call center, warranty center, or anything like this. At least make them aware of it.
