Consumer Description

2009 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSC V-ROD MUSCLE. HAVE BEEN READING OF NUMEROUS MUSCLES GOING DEAD FROM AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE TO INCLUDE ISSUES WITH GAS GAUGE FAILING. I RECENTLY PURCHASED NEW 2009 MUSCLE APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO, AND JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME TONIGHT. BIKE STARTED AND THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT DEAD AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY. BIKE HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOME AND IS AWAITING DEALERSHIP PICK-UP. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND CAUSE A CRASH, AND AT VERY LEAST LEAVE ONE STRANDED IN A VERY UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. *TR
