Consumer Description

ON SEPT 14 2015 WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MY DRIVE BELT BROKE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLOW SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. THE BELT WAS FAIRLY NEW AND HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO BY A HARLEY DEALER IN VIRGINIA. AT THAT TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE RIDING THE BELT SUDDENLY BROKE AND I WAS COMING DOWN A STEEP GRADE AND WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY A LARGE TRUCK. I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE BELT BROKE. THE FIRST TIME THE BELT BROKE THE MC HAD ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER CHECKED EVERYTHING AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND REPLACED THE BELT WHICH I PAID FOR. THIS TIME THE BELT BROKE AGAIN WITH ONLY 7,000 MILES ON IT. I ASKED HARLEY DAVIDSON ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THE BELTS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. APARENTLY THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE BELTS. NOT TO SAY THAT EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS IT COST OVER $1200.00 TO HAVE FIXED. AND NO BODY CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BIKE.
