2012 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLTRU Steering Problems

COMING TO A SLOW CONTROLLED STOP AT A RED LIGHT. AS THE BIKE DECELERATED THROUGH 40 MILES PER HOUR THE HANDLES BARS SHOOK, SIDE TO SIDE, OUT OF MY HANDS. MY BIKE IS A US MODEL NOW IMPORTED TO CANADA. HARLEY SAYS THEY HAVE NO WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE OF THIS AND WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY WARRANTY OR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 45-35MPH, WHEN DECELERATING, THE FRONT END WOBBLES VIOLENTLY, TO THE POINT WHERE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR HANDS FIRMLY ON THE BARS TO CONTROL IT. FIRST NOTICED WHEN BIKE WAS IN 3RD GEAR, LET OFF THROTTLE WHILE CRUISING TO STOP AND USED BOTH HANDS TO ZIP UP JACKET; NEARLY CRASHED AS IT WOBBLED ME TOWARDS CENTER LANE. WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE NEARLY EVERY TIME UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS; I.E. RUN BIKE TO ABOUT 50MPH, PLACE HANDS JUST ABOUT 1" ABOVE GRIPS AND LET BIKE NATURALLY SLOW DOWN. AT 40-38MPH WOBBLE WILL OCCUR TO POINT WHERE BARS ARE SHAKING SO BAD YOU HAVE TO GRAB THEM. RESEARCHED ISSUE ON VARIOUS HARLEY DAVIDSON FORUMS...IT'S A WELL KNOW AND HIGHLY DISCUSSED ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS AND CANNOT POSSIBLY BE GOOD FOR HEAD BEARINGS AND/OR OTHER PARTS IF NOT ADDRESSED. *TR
