well at 2500 miles my front tire was cracking so bad it was scarey and when we removed the front wheel you could hardly roll the wheel bearing. makes a guy alittle skidish thinking about this rolling down the road at 70 mph. wonder how my back bearings are?

19,000 miles since May of last year on a 2012 RK. It's been ridden 14K of those miles in the 30F+ to 105 degrees F. Some I-state runs, a lot of secondary roads. Never a problem - always strong power under all loads. In the last 50 years, it's definitely the best bike I've ever owned.

Almost 25,000 on my 2012 Ultra. Had the regulator issue, a faulty tour pack latch (no big deal), and a rear shift link shaft (warranty). Recently replaced a slipping clutch. Overall, very happy with this bike. Runs like a top!

2012 FLHTK with 16K on the ticker.
Couple of broken shift shafts, but some tell me I have a heavy foot!
Only other problems so far is I wore out the rear tire and keep having to put gas in it!
So otherwise, flawless!!!!

My 2012 FLHTK is 18 months old with 14,000 miles and sure had my fill of problems. VR went out during our 2000 mile trip to Key West when the bike was 2 months old. Shifter linkage problems, pinging , heated grips replaced twice, pinging, too damn hot on the right side and yes I replaced pipes without a cat, lifter looses prime overnight about once a week, did I say pinging and yes did the stage one with a power vision with a bunch of re-maps and then even had it dyno'd, still pings. It is what it is though! My 08' RK has the same mileage without problem one. FT
