Most Recent Complaints
The Skyline OS on the infotainment system frequently resets and goes entirely black during rides. This is a known software problem that Harley does not seem to be able to fix. It means that in the middle of a ride, you lose your speedometer and don’t know how fast you are going. The system takes several minutes to reset.
On multiple occasions the instrument panel on the dash has gone off sometimes it comes back on in seconds and sometimes it takes minutes. On occasion it has gone black leaving me without a speedometer or gas gage. You must pull over shut the bike off let it "reboot", this has been on going since buying the bike new in January 2024. I feel this is the reason for the charging cord in the front right glove box to have melted while on a trip. I learned when the cord was replaced that it runs directly to the head unit so there is no fuse on this electrical cord.

The digital display on the bike sometimes reboots or go out completely while riding. the rider (me) is unable to tell the speed of travel or if safety features like the turn signals are working and the motor has shut off too at highway speeds sometimes when this happens almost causing me to crash. very very dangerous. I have reached out to Harley Davidson they are not taking this complaint serious. I have heard of other bike having the same issue. My bike is available for inspection upon request.
Zip tie on electrical wiring leading to the vehicles ECU. Wires are unprotected and if zip tie rubs through could create an electrical failure resulting in a potential accident due to loss of electrical and mechanical power.
