| Description of the problem | The following event occurred previously at a lower mileage at least once, but i attributed it to my inexperience. I am a beginner at riding. On 6/13/15 when accelerating from a country road onto a state highway where quick acceleration is desired the bike bogged slightly and then propelled like a rocket ship again able to control this but it wasn't the desired acceleration for the turn i was making. I again thought operator error until i accelerated from the stop light a mile or so down the road. Again a slight bog and then a rocket ship throwing me back on the seat. Able to control the bike and get to my destination,which was to get fuel as the low fuel light was on, and put 2. 64 gallons in the tank. The problem did not present after this addition. A quick internet search of this revealed that i am not the only one experiencing this issue as i found these complaints and a blog were the problem is being discussed. After reading these i also realized that the previous occurrence was on a state highway on a longer trip and the low fuel light came on. Went to the nearest gas station and fueled. Problem went away. To be fair took the bike to the dealer and they have said they replicated the problem with up to 1. 5 gallons in the tank. Currently they are waiting on a part in order to attempt the repair of this issue. Placing my experience here as the owners manual has a section which states safety defects must be reported to the nhtsa and harley-davidson. |
