Default 09 Model question

Most first year models have some teething problems. Is that true of the 09 Electra Glides and if so, what were the problems?

Compensator, just do a search on that and you'll get flooded.

Default 2009 Electra Glide problems

None to report yet on my '09 UC after 32K miles. Start is kinda clunky when it's hot - I'm watching it.

It's a machine and this is the internet. Of course you can find issues.
Tire wear, wheel bearings, frames holding water, compensator, TBW, seat not comfortable, runs too hot, not loud enough, not enough power......

Of course you can! The TBW, compensator, seat not comfortable, too hot, not loud enough, not enough power complaints aren't specific to 09. The 08 had all those too.
When you build as many bikes as they do there's bound to be a few issues, my 09 has been flawless in almost 37K miles

No problems here.

Had the rear brake recall done (noisy brakes) and will have the rear brake switch recall done soon. Other than that, no issues. By far the best bike Ive owned.
