| Description of the problem | There is a recurring problem with the compensator sprocket on starters in the big twin class that has been going on for quite some time & has not been addressed adequately from hd. The starter does not engage fully fairly often when the bike is started. My dealer as well as other dealers i have spoken to are aware of this, also many riders i have spoken with have had the same issue. Is anything pending where hd is considering a recall. |
