Hi everyone,
I purchased a 2009 FLHTC in Dec 2008 (8 months ago). Since then I have had the following issues:
1. erratic engine idle (unresolved)
2. Casters fell off saddle bag hinges
3. Battery tray cracked
4. Rotor failure
5. pad failure
6. bent caliper pins
7. powder coat pealed of starter
8. master cover front brake cylinder cover and seal leaking (unresolved)
9. front r turn signal blows out bulb
10. excessive engine heat
11. clutch basket main pin banging noise (unresolved)
12. rattling sound in jugs (unresolved)
13. belt squealing (unresolved)
14. stalling (unresolved)
15. poor gas mileage (unresolved)
16. banging sound when turning handle bars all the way right (unresolved)
17. tour pack lid not aligned properly
18. fm radio station static (unresolved)
19. avc not working (unresolved)
20. front tire cupping
21. 30 MPH front end shake
22. inner fairing fading white
23 rear bumper lose
I think I got it all?
Now having stated all that anyone have any experience with lemon law / buy back and harley davidson? I am in Ohio.

wow, that sounds like a whole lot of problems with just one bike. hope you get it resolved.

 

Repairs have been done at South East, Western Reserve, Carlton, Liberty, but the bike was purchased at Biketown. Thanks for the info...

 

sounds like it is all normal?

 

hey were did you get the ribbon rack from?

 

Lucky you, the lemon law does cover bikes in Ohio. I'm in PA and it doesn't......maybe a good thing I bought mine in Ohio. But I haven't had one problem so far.

anyone ever done this before?

 

Nope. But if it were me? Each of those items sounds like no big deal and there will be those..... But added together, the bike is a POS. Yes! Even MOCO makes POS bikes once and awhile, and this sounds like one!

MY bike slipped the crank at 3k miles and the character of the bike totally changed. AT 20k, I am now changing out the crank (ON MY OWN DIME) and doing upgrade since the WHOLE bike is in pieces on my floor in the garage right now.

I have .008 run out on the primary side of the crank. In the olden days... .0035 would have been a new crank. But MOCO's 'fix' for the 1-in-a-1000 crank failures is to change the specs to .012 before replacement.

So my thought? Get an OHIO lawyer and get a NEW bike.

Looked like 8 dealer visits in a year seals the deal.
