NHTSA Complaint #11187096 — 2015 HARLEY-DAVIDSON XG750

I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BIKE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO JUST BREAK IT IN. I HAD OTHER PERSONS RIDE IT AND TOLD ME THAT PERHAPS IT WAS THE THROTTLE AND OR FUEL INJECTOR. I CALLED AND COMPLAINED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED TO JUST RIDE IT MORE AND GET USE TO IT. I SAID IT WAS LOSING POWER AND MAYBE THE INJECTOR WAS CLOGGED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO THEN SAID THAT BECAUSE IT'S UNDER A WARRANTY AND THE FUEL INJECTOR IS COMPUTERIZED THAT THE BIKE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND EXPLAINED TO THE TECH WHAT I WAS TOLD. HE SAID WE WILL MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. HE SAID I CAN HAVE A TRAILER PICK IT UP AT MY COST OF $50 OR SO EACH WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, WORK GOT IN THE WAY AND COULD NOT TAKE IT. THE NEXT SEASON IN 2017 I HAD THE SAME ISSUE EXPECT THIS TIME IT CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. THIS PROPELLING OF FUEL ALL AT ONCE TO MY BIKE ALMOST KILLED ME AND INJURED ME SEVERELY. THE FUEL GAUGE WENT ON AS I WAS ROLLING TO A STOP AND CONTINUED THROUGH IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE BIKE BOGGED DOWN AND ACCELERATED ALMOST ON IT'S WITH SUCH INTENSITY I LOST CONTROL. HIT FRONT AND BACK BREAK BUT BACK FAILED TO ENGAGE ENOUGH TO KEEP ME STRAIGHT ENDED UP LIFTING BACK TIRE AND FLYING OVER HANDLE BARS.
