Consumer Description

MY MOTORCYCLE SHUT OFF WHILE RIDING AT CITY SPEEDS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN THE CLUTCH AND RECOVER WITHOUT CRASHING IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHILE THIS HAPPENED SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE DEALER HARLEY DAVIDSON ATTRIBUTED THE ISSUE TO BE A STATOR FAILURE IN WHICH WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE MOTORCYCLE WILL LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE MOTOR AND THE BIKE WILL SHUT DOWN. HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN NOT A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN WITH THE SERVICE BULLETIN FIX LOTS OF RIDERS HAVE EXPERIENCED STATOR FAILURES. *TR
