2006 Harley-Davidson Dyna recalls
Reported Nov 20, 2006 · 19,921 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY
Problem: On certain motorcycles, a battery caddy bolt may loosen under normal riding conditions. Should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot.
Risk: If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the center battery caddy bolt. The recall began on november 30, 2006. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

I was out riding with my husband and my friend and we had just come over the high rise bridge from beaufort to morehead city and was sitting at a traffic light. When the light turned green and I went to go, the rear tire would not move and a very odd/loud noise came from the rear of the bike to which my husband said to me to shut the bike off. My bike had sheered all five of the bolts off that hold the rear sprocket onto the back tire and they locked the tire in a fixed position. Well my husband contacted the harley davidson warranty company who stated that the rear sprocket and anything it…

The contact owns a 2006 harley davidson dyna wide glide. While driving 25 MPH uphill, the bolts began to clank in the engine.

I purchased a harley davidson low rider from southside harley in virginia beach, va. The horn does not work. I have had it back to them twice, they oil it, I get it back on the road, and it doesn't work. The service department read me an interoffice memo stating basically that harley recognizes that their horn consistently does not work and recommending several things that can be done to fix it, but everyone I talk with says it is a conisisten problem. It is a tremendous safey factor especially for a novice rider in my opinion. The dealership gave me some 800 number to call and after going…

The handle bars on my 2006 hd softail motorcycle are not aligned correctly. I purchased the bike and notified the dealer who attempted to fix it. They contacted hd representative who looked and rode the bike on 10-20-05 and stated it was within specifications. The handle bars point 2 or 3 degrees to the right, which makes it noticeable to the rider. Hd refuses to correct the problem. I explain the problem like this; if you bought a car and the steering wheel and not centered, you would have the dealer correct the problem. As a child, if the handle bars on your bike were not straight, you got…
