Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVERHEAT SITUATION, BURNT STATOR DUE TO OVER HEATING ON A POORLY DESIGNED CHARGING SYSTEM. I'M NOT THE FIRST AND DEFINITELY NOT THE LAST WITH THIS ISSUE THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON CHOOSES TO OVERLOOK INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. FOR THE FEW OWNERS THAT HAD THIS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, HD ONLY CHANGED THE BURNT PARTS WITH THE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT WHICH FAILS AGAIN ON NEARLY ALL REPAIRED BIKES. ERIK BUELL RACING HAS COME UP WITH A PARTIAL FIX BUT, THAT COST ($455) COMES OUT THE OWNERS POCKET, NOT THE MANUFACTURER. PLUS THE COST OF OTHER PARTS, STATOR REBUILD, GASKETS, SPECIFIC TOOLS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR PROPERLY. *TR
