| Description of the problem | Excessive clattering noise coming from drive train of motorcycle. Motorcycle has been examined at dealer and was serviced to upload new computer program into engine control module. Drivetrain still clatters and feels as if engine or transmissions shafts are about to break. Dealers say this is normal. Motorcycle does not feel safe to drive. From my reading on internet this is a common issue with 2007 touring class harley davidson. I personally feel this needs to be investigated to reassure owners bikes are sound and that drivetrain is not going to lock up at highway speeds. |
