Vehicle Speed Control · at 30,246 miles · reported Mar 8, 2009

In august of 2008, I was riding my 2000 harley davidson flhtci electra glide when all of a sudden the motorcycle just shut down. I was fortunate to be able to coast to the side of the road. Just as I was entering the shoulder of the road, the motorcycle started right up. However, I noticed my speedometer bounding up and down and not correctly reporting my speed. When I took the bike in for repairs, I was told it was a speed sensor which was a recurring problem with my particular model motorcycle. Less than 4,000 miles later, it happened yet again. Today, while riding in traffic in the left…

Electrical System · reported Mar 25, 2004

I recently saw that harley-davidson issued recall campaign # 0113, even though my flhtci is a 2000 (Manufactured in 1999), I have had the situation where my bike had completely stopped (Including electrical shutting off) on four occasions. Three of these I was moving at speed and the last time when I was at a dead stop. After several seconds and turning the main switch off/on I was able to restart the bike. I AM wondering if this recall includes my bike also - and if it doesn't could the recall be expanded to include model year 2000 also....my VIN is [xxx]. Updated 07/26/2012 information…

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 28,000 miles · reported Aug 8, 2003

Consumer stated he is not able to control the speed of the bike. The bike had to be shut off and restarted to control the speed. Please provide any further information.

Electrical System · reported Jun 20, 2002

The front fender tip marker light has wiring that runs under the front fender, it rubs on the tire which wears the insulation off the wires , this causes a short and blows the fuse, this fuse is also for the headlight so when this happens the motorcycle loses headlight and running light, this is a very dangerous situation when driving the motorcycle at night on a dark unlit road, my understanding from the dealer is that this is a common problem for a couple of years of this model.

Suspension · reported Sep 28, 2001

While traveling at 65 MPH and changing lanes, consumer noticed rear end was shaking from side to side. Consumer lost control of motorcycle and crashed. The consumer said that the shaking built up to the point were the rear wheel was leaving the road lunging from side to side. There was one injury in the accident.
