From my own diagnostics, as a licensed Master Motorcycle Mechanic, in the State of [XXX] , I believe the rear cylinder cam chain guide shroud shoulder bolt backed out of the threading in the engine casing, causing the shroud to fall into the primary gears, which caused a loss of cam chain tension and the engine jumped time. This caused a loss of engine power and the motorcycle engine stalled as I was riding down the road. Luckily it was a backroad with no other vehicles traveling it at the time or else I could have been struck by another vehicle, causing serious injury to myself and other…

Motorcycle died without warning and would not restart. Turned out to be a faulty Right Hand Control Module which is a known issue with the 2021-2023 model and the part has been updated to a newer part.

Fourth time this has happened to me. Driving 65 mph on interstate 4, accidentally turned off the motorcycle. Scared the piss out of me in all that traffic when bike shut off and was slowing down.

I have been operating this motorcycle for 11 months. THREE times, I have accidentally turned the engine off while in city traffic. The on/off switch has a lever which extends too close to the throttle. When wearing gloves it is way too easy to accidentally turn the motorcycle off. The engine stops instantly; tail light, brake light, and, headlight will remain on for another 5 seconds or so.

Stator cuts out intermittently causing vehicle to stall while riding. This poses a saftey rish especially while on thw interstate. This is a known issue with the Pan America models 21 through 23. They updated the stator for the 24 model on and no longer make the old style stator. A repair now costs $5000.00 if not under warranty. If you have a extended service contract through Harley they wont cover it due to being considered upgraded parts. This malfunctuon has happened to me twice and both times the dealer was unable to diagnose the issue. Harley Davidson needs to recall this part.
