This Problem Across All Years
My Street 750 has 11,800 miles. While riding at 65 mph, sudden loss of drive. Pulled over to notice the motorcycle's belt missing and debris on the belt guide and the back wheel. The bolt holding the front sprocket was out of place and made a hole in the cover. The front sprocket was out of place. I was able to walk back my path and found the belt shredded.

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 65MPH, FRONT BELT PULLEY BOLT BROKE CAUSING PULLEY TO DISLODGE. CAUSES BELT TO WRAP AROUND SHAFT AND JAM LOCKING REAR WHEEL. LUCKILY THE PULLEY DID NOT FALL OFF BELT GUARD AND HIT MYSELF OR ANY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADJUSTED DUE TO NOT NEEDING NEW BELT, AND WAS AT SAME SPECS FROM FACTORY. UPON RESEARCH, FOUND MULTIPLE OWNERS SAME YEAR HAVING SAME FAILURES. SO FAR NO ONE HAS WRECKED OR CAUSED INJURY, HOWEVER HAD I BEEN INEXPERIENCED I LIKELY WOULD HAVE. UPON CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE PURCHASED I WAS TOLD THAT HUMIDITY COULD WEAKEN THE BOLT AND CAUSE FAILURE. THIS WAS FEB 27 @ 1330. WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. I'M SURPRISED THAT HUMIDITY COULD BE BLAMED FOR FAILURE, AND THEN HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR. I OPTED TO REMOVE BROKEN BOLT ON OWN WITH BASIC TOOLS PREVIOUSLY . DID NOT WANT TO ASSIST IN WORKING WITH MAIN MANUFACTURER OR INVESTIGATE THE MULTIPLE FAILURES.

THE MOTORCYCLE ,STALLS FROM A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATES VERY FAST ,THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE BIKES IS LOW ON FUEL , BUT LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT IS ON. IT IS VEY DANGEROUS. IT STARTS OUT FROM A DEAD STOP OK , THEN STALLS REAL FAST , AND AFTER THE STALL IT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY WITH NO INPUT FROM ME THE RIDER ON THE THROTTLE CONTROL.

I EXPERIENCED A LAG AND LEAP ISSUE. I WAS RIDING MY BIKE WITH ABOUT 83 MILES ON THE TANK OF GAS AND OUT OF NOWHERE IT WOULD PRETEND TO STALL AND THEN TAKE OFF. WOULD CONTINUALLY DO THIS IN THE LOWER GEARS. ADDED A NEW TANK OF GAS AND IT WENT AWAY. GOT TO THE SAME MILEAGE AND HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. HARLEY REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY AND I AM WORRIED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.

"WITH ROUGHLY .9 GALLONS OF FUEL IN TANK, WHEN LEAVING A FULL STOP, VEHICLE PAUSES HARD ON ACCELERATION. PROBABLE CAUSE IS FUEL STARVATION CAUSED BY FUEL FLOWING BACK IN THE TANK, AWAY FROM THE FRONT-LOCATED FUEL PUMP, STARVING EFI SYSTEM OF GASOLINE. AS FUEL MOVES FORWARD AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE IN FORWARD MOMENTUM, THE PUMP HAS ACCESS TO THE FUEL AND THE BIKE SUDDENLY LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES AS THE FUEL IN TANK TRAVELS FORWARD AND AFT. EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN THIS IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR."
