Consumer Description

WHILE RIDING AROUND THE TOWN GOT A WARNING LIGHT FOR BATTERY (LOW VOLTAGE) AND ENGINE HAD SHUT DOWN SOON AFTER. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO THE STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOW THE MOTORCYCLE HOME, HOWEVER HAVING BIKE DIE ON YOU OUT OF THE BLUE IN THE TRAFFIC IS NOT A PLEASANT OR SAFE EXPERIENCE AND END RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE THAT BURNED UP CHARGING SYSTEM IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONES LIFE. BIKE WILL OPERATE FOR 30MIN OR SO ONCE THE BATTERY HAS BE CHARGED THROUGH THE EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER (TRICKLE CHARGER) AND AFTER THE ENERGY IS DEPLETED FROM THE BATTERY MOTORCYCLE WILL SHUT DOWN SINCE THE MOTORCYCLE'S CHARGING SYSTEM IS ROASTED AND NON FUNCTIONAL. MOTORCYCLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED UNDER A RECALL BY HARLEY DAVIDSON AND CHARGING HARNESS AND NEW FUEL MAPPING WERE INSTALLED, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR
