| Description of the problem | I purchased this new 2005 harley davidson on 1/20/2005. While riding on the interstate freeway i engaged the cruise control. I attempted to disengage it so i could adjust my speed. The controls did not disengage it. I used my brakes, those did not disengage it. I pulled the clutch, that did not disengage it but the engine speed jump up to 6500 rpm. When i released the clutch my speed increased to around 85 mph. I turned off the dash switch and that did not have any effect. I turned off the motorcycle and coasted to an off ramp. I restarted the motorcycle and rode to the dealer. The dealer mechanic put the motorcycle on test equipment and could find nothing wrong. Then he took it for a test ride. The cruise locked on for him also. When he got back he worked on it some more until i needed to leave and get back to work. He disconnected the cruise and i rode home. I took it back to them the next week and they could not find anything wrong. They hooked everything back up and sent me away. If i had been in heavier traffic when this happened it could have been very serious. |
