The motorcycle powertrain loses power while traveling at speed without warning. The engine lights come on when the power leaves the powertrain, and I have to coast to a safe location. Recently, it happened while on a road trip to Tennessee on the interstate and I had to maneuver through traffic, coasting to get to the shoulder of the road and nearly had an accident due to loss of power. The Bumpus HD dealership technician in Tennessee rode the bike and it lost power while he was riding but he could not determine the cause of the loss of power. As a result of not locating the source of the loss of power, I had to have the bike trailered from Tennessee to Maryland.
NHTSA complaint 11747860The 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.
NHTSA complaint 11695959On 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.
NHTSA complaint 11676961The 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.
NHTSA complaint 11668052Zip 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.
NHTSA complaint 11661400While driving on Interstate at 70 MPH the motorcycle died after it had already been in the shop to fix issue. I was told issue was a failed update. Once I received the bike back I rode for 3 days before lights started flashing and then in the middle of a ride it lost all power and then gained it back 3 times before dyeing completely on the interstate. The check engine light, battery light and warning light all came on. As this is a driver in Houston TX, power dying on these roads unexpectedly can cause accidents that on a motorcycle can kill me or the driver of another vehicle. After pulling fuse I was able to get started and get it back to dealership. Found multiple people with same issue and dealerships still guessing at the issues.
NHTSA complaint 11657386Vehicle goes into limp mode unexpectedly and with no warning. Lose all throttle control forcing me to pull off out of traffic and trying to do so safely.
NHTSA complaint 11657103While riding home the bike stumbled and shut off had to restart. It did cause a code to happen but nothing evident or no event code showed up. My bike is new has 1098 miles on it. This was unexpected and dangerous. Thank god I was going slow. Many other bikes have had the same issue from Harley.
