| Description of the problem | This complaint is about a saftey issue with the 2007 harley davidson road king i purchased in dec 2006. The bike has a very loud clatter emitting from the engine, sounds like the valve train or transmission. It appears that this problem has the attention of many 2007 owners with late 2006 production release motorcycles. The bikes also run very hot and are not ridable in weather over 70 degrees. Im concerned that there is possible mechanical failure eminent wich could result in fatal consequences. Halrey davidson customer service proclaims that there is nothing wrong and will not take responciblity for these problems. They did issue a tourqe smoothing recalibration that did nothing fr the loud clatter emitting from the engine, and ultra hot temps. We need your help. |
