2014 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTK Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

2014 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA LIMITED. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE VIBRATION, THROTTLE ISSUES, CLUTCH COMPENSATOR AND POSSIBLE EITMS FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED A VIBRATION FROM THE ENGINE WHICH WAS MORE THAN HE EXPECTED, AND AN INTERMITTENT KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. THE HD PERSONNEL SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE LIKED THE POWER AND RIDE AS SPEED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE THROTTLE WAS ROLLED OFF, THE BIKE LUGGED AND SURGED AND AT IDLE THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION. ALSO, AT IDLE THERE WAS A HEAVY. LOUD INTERMITTENT CLUNKING SOUND MUCH LIKE A PRE-IGNITION KNOCK. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE TWIN OVERHEAD CAM ENGINE WAS AN ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURER. *JB

I EXPERIENCED COOLANT LEAKAGE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SPENT A FEW DAYS TESTING AND MAKING THE REPAIR. AT APPROX.. 300 MILES IT DID IT AGAIN. COOLANT IS VERY SLIPPERY, IF COOLANT GETS ON A MOTORCYCLES TIRES IT WOULD BE ALL BAD. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING, HARLEY IS HAVING ISSUES WITH COOLANT LEAKS ON SELECTED NEW BIKES. THIS IS A WHOLE NEW DESIGN FOR HARLEY DAVIDSON, USED ON 3 2014 HARLEY DAVIDSON MODELS. I REALLY THINK THE ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
