I'd be pretty pissed if I dropped 30K large on one of these bikes & it pissed all over my garage floor! Hope that all of you victims ie. Guinea Pigs get your issues resolved over this debacle!

I think the MOCO should offer all buyers of these 2014 wet heads FREE extended warranties as a good will gesture. Hope they get this sorted out for all of you....what a pain.

I bought the extended warranty which is one of the reasons I'm not really worried about the possibility of this happening to my bike. But a refund on that extended warranty would be nice Can you work on that for us?

Well put! If you don't own a 2014 "Wethead"; STFU and keep your petty comments to yourself. It does nothing for the OP and even less for the rest of us that had the ***** to jump on the new and improved FLHTK! just sayin

I wish I could! But since my bike is an 07 they would most likely tell me to STFU! If I had just bought a 2014 liquid cooled bike and it took a leak you bet I'd be making some phone calls...I would bug the pi$$ out of them (MOCO) until they made me happy...

Day 6:

Dealer just called and said my bike is fixed. He said all of my radio issues will be addressed in future firmware updates. He did say MoCo is aware of them. He mentioned too a problem with iphone 5 and the 7.0 update which I have. Anyway, I'm really not worried about the Radio glitches per se. I am worried about the coolant exploading/leaking/puking, etc.

To "fix" my bike's coolant puke problem. All they did was the same thing they did last Friday night on Day 1. They waited for the bike to fully cool. Opened the radiator cap. Ran the bike for 5 minutes with the cap off. Addded the correct amount of coolant took it for a "long" (not sure how long) test ride. Turned off bike let cool down. Did that whole process again and they say no issues.

I asked if they performed the technical bulletin TT430 or whatever it is, and he said no, that they didn't have to do any of that. He said they may have to in the future, but didn't need to now.

I'll pick her up tonight, take her for a ride, and report back later, but I'm not so sure what they did fixed anything. I also wonder why it took them all day Monday, Tueasday, and half the day today to do such a small proceedure? Anyway, I fear the saga continues....

Edit: Not sure at what point they added the coolant. Maybe before running bike for 5 minutes?

Hey dinosaur bike man thanks for the kind words, but just so you know not all of us guinea pigs are pissed after dropping our 30k large. In fact every time I fly past a dinosaur bike with my high powered 103 motor with my infotainment center blaring, and my head not being beat up from the wind, I get a big smile on my face.

If the bike is in gear, not neutral, turning the fork lock to the lock position will shutoff the bike. Give it a try ....
