I'm thinking of purchasing a 2012 Harley Tri Glide to replace my 2002 Ultra Classic. The one I am considering has 13,000 miles on it and has the 103 engine. Are there any issues known on the 2012 model year Tri Glide that I should be aware of? Thanks Murph W.

 

I have not heard issues with 2012 look at the condition check the service records check fluid levels. look for oil leaks in normal Harley areas you know the drill. low mileage like any with those miles it was a garage Queen good luck on your purchase. ride safely Fred
P.S. Most people who spend that kind of money on a Triglide take good care of the investment they are not a street beaters.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to the forum and just figuring out how this works. I've been reading some of the posts and see there are some issues that people have with Tri Glides but honestly; you can have issues with anything so I am not to worried about it.

Thanks again appreciate the help.

 

Purchased my 2012 in 2015 with 2400 miles on the clock, bone stock. At 4/15 dealer replaced inner race and bearing due to my complaint of unusual noise when pulling in clutch. On 6/15 I found a small tranny fluid leak. Dealer found shift shaft seal leaking and clutch cable leaking at tranny side door. Trike now has 19200 on her, has had no other problems and runs great. Repairs were all covered by a after market insurance contract. Hope you find your "deal".

 

Thank you Kenita. Always good to hear from a satisfied rider. As with anything there can be issues. A good maintenance routine is a big part of staying ahead of issues.

Thank you for your input.

Just curious, which aftermarket insurance do you use? Looking for a 3 year policy for mine and HD wants 1649. for 3 years with no wheel and tire coverage !!!

 

I had an 2011...The only issuers in 45 thousand miles were the reverse motor... And the two bolts holding the stabilizer to the front head..

 

Yep, my wife had a '13 Tri Glide, and the reverse motor was the only issue she had with it in 35000 miles.

 

Try Fidelity Warranty Services Inc., Deerfield Beach, Fl. I don't have the phone #.

 

I have a 2012 TriGlide bough new, there was a recall on the voltage regulator and had it changed then 2 years later it went out the changed it and never had a problem scene.
Transmission had a leak one month after a service. Our HD service department is useless.
Never had any other problems, this bike is awesome! I drive it like I stole it.
