problems with new ultra
We purchased a 2009 Ultra Classic 3 weeks ago and have had a lot of problems with it. No one seems to want to take responsibility for a lemon!
The bike has been in the shop 9 of the 23 days we've owned it with electrical problems. It died on the way to the dealer and had to be towed. The dealer told us to drive it in. Guess we shouldn't have listened to them, but now we have a $229 tow bill and the dealer has our bike again. This is our first Harley experience an it isn't a good one. I guess we should have stuck with the
Gold Wing, it's a 1978 and has never given us a problem.
Is anyone else having electrical problems with a 2009 Ultra?

I've had my 09 Ultra for 7 months now and have had no problems at all.
What do you mean "no one wants to take responsibility"? If I we're you, I'd find another shop to look at it.

Definitely go back to Rice if somebody would be interested in a Lemon! Sell it? Would you buy a used Harley for $23,000 knowing there is a problem or should they be a decietful as the dealer. It's bull when the dealer knowing sells a bike that has a problem. Yup it happens!
Don't give up - make them be responsible like everyone else...Regardless if it is Al Gore's fault or not!
Saving Gas - how do you see that one? If ya can't ride the bike - means you gotta go for the gas hog instead.
