BIKE HAS LESS THAN 4500 MILES ON IT. WHEN STOPPED AT A NORMAL TRAFFIC LIGHT EVEN FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME THE ENGINE PUTS OF SO MUCH HEAT THAT IM FORCED TO EITHER SHUT THE ENGINE OFF (MIGHT BE ILLEGAL) OR STAND UP AND LEAN THE BIKE SO I CAN GET MY LEG AWAY FROM THE MOTOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF HARLEY MANUFACTURES AN OIL COOLER + FAN FOR THESE WHY THEY WOULDN'T COME ON THE BIKE. IM NOT SURE WHAT DAMAGE THIS COULD CAUSE TO THE ENGINE BUT I DO KNOW THAT I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO BURNING MY INNER THIGH. WHEN I PAY AS MUCH MONEY FOR SOMETHING AS I DID THIS BIKE, I EXPECT IT TO LAST UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR A LONG LONG TIME. IF THE HEAT ISSUE ISN'T FIXED I EXPECT TO HAVE A MAJOR FAILURE(BLOWN ENGINE) IN LESS THAN 20000 MILES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM ANY MANUFACTURER, NOT JUST THE "AMERICAN" HARLEY. *KB
Is 1 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2011, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
