This Problem Across All Years
FUEL PUMP ON THE MOTORCYCLE IS NOT IN GOOD WORKING ORDER WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL EMPTYS TO A CERTAIN POINT IN THE TANK NOT KNOWING WHEN BECAUSE THEIR IS ALSO NO GAS ODOMETER ON THE MOTORCYCLE THE MODEL BEGINS TO LAG AND LEAP AT ANY TIME AND AS MANY TIMES IT WANTS TO REACT AS AM TWISTING THE THROTTLE WHETHER AM SWITCHING GEARS OR JUST IN CRUSIE IT WILL DO THIS CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND MAY LOSE CONTROL AT THE WRONG TIME LIKE BAD WEATHER, UP AND GO TRAFFIC, TURNING INTO STREETS, I HAVE ALREADY TOOK A FALL ON THE MOTORCYCLE TRYING TO MAKING IT INSIDE THE FUEL ISLAND AT A GAS STATION AND THE TIMING WHEN I WAS IN MY TURN OF A RIGHT GOING IN THE ISLAND IT LAG AND LEAP AT THAT TIME AND TOOK OFF ON ME CAUSING ME TO FALL AND ALSO THE MOTORCYCLE I WALKED AWAY UNHARMED JUST MY MOTORCYCLE HAD ROAD SCRATCHES GOING ALONG THE MUFFLER AND HEAT SHEILD AND RIGHT SIDE HANDLE BAR GRIP CHIPPED..I TOOK IT TO GET SERVICE AT THE DEALER FOR ITS FIRST 1000 MILE AND WHILE IT WAS THEIR THEY REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING AND ONLY GOT WORST. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS THE GEAR SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST GEAR AND 2ND GEAR MOST OF THE TIME IS NOT COMPLETELY IN GEAR WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN THE TWO.

VERY DANGEROUS SHORT STEM MIRRORS, CANT SEE BEHIND YOU! FUEL PUMP/ PICKUP TUBE SUCKS AIR AND BIKE STALLS THEN LUNGES. GEAR SELECTION IS DIFFICULT AND HANGS. VERY WEAK FRONT BRAKES. TIMING SHAFT WOODRUFF KEY BREAKS!

WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY 35 MPH OR SO, THE BIKE SUDDENLY LOST ENGINE POWER (AS IF I CLOSED THE THROTTLE) THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT OPENED RIGHT BACK UP AND LUNGED ME FORWARD AS IF I SUDDENLY TWISTED THE THROTTLE OPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIMES I GOT LOW ON GAS BUT BEFORE THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON! THERE WAS STILL QUITE A BIT OF GAS IN THE TANK. AND WHEN I FILL UP, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS UNTIL I DRIVE ANOTHER 75 MILES OR SO.

I'VE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW. WENT FOR A RIDE ON FRIDAY THE 26 OF JUNE ON THE ISLAND I LIVE ON WITH A FRIEND. I WAS ON A 25 MILE SPEED LIMIT ROAD APPROACHING A DOWN HILL TURN TO THE LEFT. I ENTERED THE TURN MAINTAINING COVER ON BRAKES AND CLUTCH. AS I STARTED LEANING THE BIKE INTO THE TURN THE MOTORCYCLE SURGED THE FUEL BY CUTTING OFF AND COMING BACK ON RAPIDLY GIVING ME TOO MUCH TORQUE. I TRIED BRAKING AND DOWN SHIFTING CAUSING MY REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND SENDING ME SIDEWAYS INTO THE GUARD RAIL. I PINNED MY LEG IN BETWEEN THE GUARD RAIL AND THE MOTORCYCLE CAUSING THE REST OF MY BODY AND HEAD TO HIT ALL OF THE GUARD RAIL AS WELL BEFORE FLIPPING OFF THE BIKE AND LANDING ON MY BACK. LUCKILY FOR ME, MY INJURIES WERE LIMITED TO MUSCLE SORENESS AND NO BROKEN BONES. I JUST FILLED A COMPLAINT LAST WEEK AS WELL ABOUT THE LEAP AND LAG SURGING ISSUE THIS MOTORCYCLE IS HAVING. HARLEY-DAVIDSON NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED!!

OK SO FIRST TIME I HAD AN ISSUE WAS IN JANUARY WHEN I NOTICED A MAJOR SURGE TO THE POINT OF STALLING OUT REGUARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. TOOK IT TO HARLEY ONCE AND THEY COULD NOT REPLECATE THE ISSUE. SECOND TIME WITHIN THE SAME MONTH SAME ISSUE THE FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP STATING IT WAS FAULTY. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR MONTHS TILL RECENTLY IN MAY I STARTED NOTICING I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY FUEL WAS LOW AND THE LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED OF AT AN EXIT TO GET GAS AND IT STARTED TO SURGE AGAIN LIKE IT DID BEFORE. TANK WAS ALMOST EMPTY SO I FILLED HER UP. NO PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY. NEXT MONTH OF JUNE I NOTICE MY LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY WORK AND WHEN IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR IT SURGES REALLY QUICK FROM POWER TO NO POWER TO QUICK POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN. SO I WENT AND FILLED UP THE TANK AND YET AGAIN NO PROBLEMS. SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND 100 MILES PER TANK. AND WHEN AT HALF TANK TAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS IT LOOSES POWER TOO. VERY EASILY COULD THROUGH AN INEXPERINCED RIDER OFF IF THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO MAINTAIN THROTTLE AND CLUTCH CONTROL. ALSO NOTICED SHE HAS ISSUES WITH STARTING IN THE MORNING WHEN COLD IF THE BIKE SITS OUT IN THE LOT, HAVE TO GIVE HER GAS TO WARM UP. LIQUED COOLED AND FUEL INJECTED MOTORS SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH ONLY 2000 MILES ON THE MOTOR BIKE IS NOT SAFE AT THIS TIME PROBABLY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FOREIGN PARTS ON AN AMERICAN MACHINE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN A WEEK AGO, IT ALSO HAS LESS THAN 100 MILES. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT REACHED AROUND 75-80 MILES. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE THEN DECELERATE AND STALL OUT AFTER STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN FORWARD MOTION AND ALSO ON TURNS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 20(TWENTY) TIMES LEAVING ME (VEHICLE STALLED OUT) IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ALSO IN CITY TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD THEN BOGS DOWN THEN LUNGES FORWARD AGAIN, MOST OF THE TIME STALLING OUT. THIS PROBLEM CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION FOR MYSELF, A PASSENGER, AND OTHER MOTORIST ON THE ROAD. VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO NOT HIT ME. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW.

WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BIKE HESITATED, THEN DUMPED ALL ITS POWER INTO THE ACTION, RESULTING IN A "LAG-LEAP" EFFECT. IT'S DONE IT 2-3 TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL INSTANCE.

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. *TR
