| Description of the problem | 2008 harley davidson street glide flhx noticed noise coming from the rear wheel of the motorcycle at highway speeds and at lower speeds around town highway speeds it produces a howling / whining noise. And at lower around town it produces a clicking noise . Typical noises that a fatigued wheel bearing would make when it is starting to fail. Took motorcycle to the harley dealer told them about the noises, they stated that those noises where not there and any noise i was hearing was normal and that there time for checking out the bike was not covered under the warranty that came with the bike because they did not find and defected parts or hear any strange noises nor did they bother to take off the rear wheel like i requested not even did they take the time to inspect the rear wheel. And on top of it all they want me to pay $300. 00 dollars for 2 1/2 hours of there time to do nothing to the motorcycle but take it for a test ride. |
