Service Brakes · at 17,000 miles · reported Mar 26, 2014
Rear brake light switch failed causing leaking of rear master cylinder fluid, loss of rear brake control and associated wiring caught on fire.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 5,188 miles · reported Aug 27, 2013
Plastic fuel tanks swells. Has been replaced several times by harley davidson, however, the tanks are replaced with the same item/part number. After each tank replacement the swelling continues with the new tank. I AM concerned that now that I AM out of warranty the tank will no longer be replaced and that eventually the swelling will lead to cracking and fuel spillage with a fire or crash resulting.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 5,800 miles · reported Aug 5, 2013
The plastic gas tank on these bikes swells to the point the covers no longer fit. Hoping they don't swell to the point of leaking fuel.
