Hey Boltsfaninmo,
I appologize for acting like a12 year old.
Have you had a chance to ride enough to notice any shifting problems? Mine has started sounding like the primary chain has a lot of slack whey I shift from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd. I sure hope they can get all the problems worked out so we can enjoy these bikes. Mine has ben great so far.
Good luck my friend

Picked up my recalled bike yesterday. They replaced the clutch master cylinder. Bike runs good and even seems to shift more smoothly. Leaking / puking has seemed to be okay since I last filled the coolant bottle. The level of coolant is at the line when cold, raises about a 1/4" to 1/2" when hot, and goes back to level after cooldown. I'm riding a few hundred miles on Sunday, so we'll see how that goes.
Now, if they could just fix the Infotainment issues, I'd have a perfect bike.

As the owner of a Daytona Blue Pearl FLHTK, I have to say it handles better, brakes better and pulls harder than my '12 version. The new bike is the best one I have had right out of the box and I am happy with it. No coolant leaks with close to 3000 miles on the bike and it is in for the clutch check up right now. I have read other posts about the position and upright rear brake pedal and I would agree it does take more movement to get to the brake pedal than I recall previously. It seems with the interconnected brakes, if you activate the front brake first the rear brake pedal is quite stiff as the rear brakes are interconnected. If you press the rear brake pedal first, the pedal has more movement. I don't know if this is adjustable or not.

Rode another 200 miles yesterday. No issues whatsoever. Well, other than the radio problems I've had form day 1. No leaks, pukes, overflowing of any kind. I'm still riding with a bottle of coolant and a funnel in my bags, but so far everything looks good.

Well, Let's see if I can remember all the issues...
1. Most times when I turn on the bike the radio plays from rear speakers only until I have to go into the Audio Menu to correct it via the Fader control.
2. FM Radio receeption sucks. It pops loudly from time to time. Sounds like some sort of loud static pop.
3. When a phone call comes in while streaming BT music from iphone, the iphone stops playback and will not start playback after call drops. Have to shut bike off and back on to re-boot.
4. Volume will not work sometimes. Again, have to shut bike off to reboot.
5. Navigation sometimes shows incorrectly. I have seen North facing 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock even when I have it set to North UP.
6. Nav icon, if you change from the arrow to a bike, it will NOT stay on bike. It ALWAYS goes back to arrow.
7. My left speaker sounds like it's not working sometimes or barely working. Most all the sound sounds like it comes from the right. Sucks for stereo imaging.
That's all I can remember for now.
