| Description of the problem | When coming to a complete stop and then accelerating motorcycle acts as if it is low on fuel and does a very violent judder/ jolt forwards. As this is seen as an entry level bike someone with less riding time will definitely run into some serious issues. Has happened multiple times, in my case also the fuel light comes on when these happens. I then fill up and it always takes 1. 6 gallons when light comes on. So indicator light is coming on prematurely and there is still 1. 9 gallons left in tank. This problem with fuel system is no joke when you have someone behind you which i almost got rammed from behind. If harley doesn't act on this there will definitely have some law suits to deal with in near future. This issue has made me think twice about riding at speeds over 35mph with this particular motorcycle. I have called harley service department and was told it might need some kind of adjustment made on float of fuel pump. But i refused to take bike on expressway and hate to pay for a toll truck when its a brand new 2015 bike. Why should i pay for pick up fee? Remember the customer is also right and i wouldn't spend my time writing this if this wasn't a concern. Don't wait till someone gets seriously hurt out there. |
