Most Recent Complaints
Fourth time this has happened to me. Driving 65 mph on interstate 4, accidentally turned off the motorcycle. Scared the piss out of me in all that traffic when bike shut off and was slowing down.
I have been operating this motorcycle for 11 months. THREE times, I have accidentally turned the engine off while in city traffic. The on/off switch has a lever which extends too close to the throttle. When wearing gloves it is way too easy to accidentally turn the motorcycle off. The engine stops instantly; tail light, brake light, and, headlight will remain on for another 5 seconds or so.
Stator cuts out intermittently causing vehicle to stall while riding. This poses a saftey rish especially while on thw interstate. This is a known issue with the Pan America models 21 through 23. They updated the stator for the 24 model on and no longer make the old style stator. A repair now costs $5000.00 if not under warranty. If you have a extended service contract through Harley they wont cover it due to being considered upgraded parts. This malfunctuon has happened to me twice and both times the dealer was unable to diagnose the issue. Harley Davidson needs to recall this part.
Fuel tank and pump were not made to be used with ethanol, which is in almost all available gas in the USA. The fuel pump and tank erode rapidly due to their material reaction to the ethanol. Fuel pump screams loudly on startup and begins to fail pulling fuel to the engine, mileage may vary. Tank corrodes on the inside which speeds up this process.
Charging system failed causing complete shutdown of motorcycle in traffic. This is a known issue of pre 2024 models as evidenced by internal harley memos.
