Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE ON MY HARLEY DAVIDSON 2002 ULTRA CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE IN VARIOUS WEBSITE FORUMS. WHEN THE POWER FAILS, THE MOTOR SHUTS DOWN, AND THERE IS NO HORN, NO LIGHTS, NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS, ETC. THAT MAKES THIS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM IS BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO A CIRCUIT BREAKER DEFECT THAT SOME DEALERS CORRECT BY REPLACING IT WITH A MAXI FUSE. MY LOCAL HD DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF A PROBLEM BUT HARLEY DAVIDSON CORPORATION HAS BEEN MADE AWARE BY MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT. THIS HAS PERSONALLY HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 4 TIMES. LUCKILY NEITHER I NOR MY PASSENGER WAS HURT. *LA
