- I've officially put the first 1000 miles on the new 2024 Road Glide and it's been interesting. Breakdowns, issues, upgrades, this video has it all.

I didn't make it super clear but the BCM was the defective part that needed to be changed. Harley Corporate had one Overnighted to my local dealer.
Dam for all the other people without 42k subscribers bike goes to the shop and put on waiting list for a month maybe two lmao
My 2016 road King has had the same issues with starting and the abs and security system. I could find nothing online pointing to the BCM being the problem. I ended up diagnosing myself with a wiring diagram I found online and was able to fix it.
All 10 of my Harleys have done the same thing /PLUS/ I can customize and personalize every one of my Harleys to the moon and back. You guys crack me up with all of the “My bike is better cuzz” bullshit. I have over 100K on four of my Harleys as well as a few thousand on a Virago and before 2001 I had as many on the HonYams I had too. The only ones that ever “failed” me were the Kawasakis (they were fast as a bat out of hell though) and the one shit pile Suzuki I tried. Cut with the my dick is longer than yours bullshit.
What does bcm stand for
Per Google it is a Body Control Module. I wonder if that is the same as an ECM, engine control module?
Dude I appreciate your honesty! Unlike other TH-cam influencers you are obviously not bought and paid for by HD. Thanks man!!!
This is crazy man… my father always taught me never buy first years model. Sorry you had this problem man…
There is ALWAYS an excuse for HD riders. It's never HD putting out crap products.
@@Txcowboy80I’ve had 4 Harley’s since 1989. Never had issues with ANY of them. You can keep saying it, doesn’t make it true. Seems like Harley stood behind the product and had it fixed. I am sure you can hear issues like this from every manufacturer.
@@Ickshter2112 absolutely every brand has issues here and there, but HD fanboys think the HD brand is immune to criticism.
@@Txcowboy80, lol as you take your new Mitsubishi in for a recall!😂
T xcowboy
Could not agree more.
In 2019 I bought a 2004 Yamaha Road star Silverado for a total of $2800.
It needed a new enricher cable .
Last year needed a new battery.
Have put 14000 miles on it in that time bringing total mileage to
35 thousand + on second set of tires and have not had a problem with it, haven’t even adjusted the clutch. Yes this motorcycle just turned 20 years old.
I got two words for you techies posing as bikers (not you Hegshot), ROAD KING! Low-tech, no issues. Screw all that tech.
Totally Agree Man , Simplicity is better IMO . Less crap to go wrong . When I'm riding I want to hear the sound of that engine while rolling down the road . Ain't that what true riding's all about ? Hell yes it is !
I just bought a 7 year developed RKS 2023 with 6000km experience on it,….flawless…..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not a Harley guy but I like to visit your channel and see what's up.
Definitely shouldn't be having those kind of problems right out of the gate.
Thanks man
Bad deal !!! My POS DUCATI stopped working and left me stranded !!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🏍 who knew that I needed to replace the fuel filter every 125,000 miles !!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 best bike I ever had , sold it with 205,000 miles on it 😊
I would like to see Harley include a 3 year factory warranty with their new bikes.
If they don’t charge extra, that would be an awesome idea
@@KodakMostHatedif they don't charge extra... that's hilarioua
Or,, You could buy a Ricer and not need a Warranty...........................................................
If you buy me a 2024 Honda Goldwing, I will say you are correct@@conceptchannel1112
@@conceptchannel1112 My ricer comes with a 3 year warranty.
You're scaring me! Most of us don't have contacts at Harley corporate so we may just get shafted with a fresh monthly payment and no bike! I want one but I think I'll give them a year to sort these things out.
Harley corporate told me they can't do anything to help me other than call the dealer be a middle man. They can't do anything else. My video on my channel explains my horror story
This is happening to sooooo many of the new 2024 models. Great bike easy fix. Enjoy it!
Man they are telling you the same thing they did to me when I had a radio issue, to " VIDEO TAPE THE PROBLEM" or bring it back. They updated the radio twice on my 2019 street glide and so far its working.
When I picked my 2024 Road Glide up, they brought it outside and shut it down. They went through the controls, I got on it and it would not start, same issue as yours. They pulled the master fuse, put it back in and hadn’t had a problem since. I have just under 400 miles on it now. Hope it doesn’t creep up again
Ive got a 2021 street glide special ..that happen to rwice in a year's time,,a good friend told me to pull the fuse,,smh
That is called a clue.
Hard pass.
Thanks man. I hope there's no other issues with yours
@@HegshotRides Have almost 500 miles on it now. Took it to the dealer today to do the new infotainment update. It was a 30 mile ride home so I connected my phone to listen to some Tom Petty. The infotainment screen will show what is playing but after a few miles the music was still playing but not showing on the screen Gonna call them Tuesday and see what they say. I’m OK with working some of the bugs out in the tech but will have an issue with engine performance if that happens. I have to say this is a great bike and runs like a scalded dog in sport mode!😎👍
"Sport" mode? SMH...@@OverlandUSAHD
The issues you describe remind me of issues I had on a 2008 BMW K1200GT. BMW shop had no answer and after 30k miles I sold it for a Kawasaki Concours. Last BMW I will ever own. Glad to hear HD took care of you. Sure is a beautiful bike. I’m gonna hang on to my 2008 Screaming Eagle Road King while the gremlins get worked out. Love the channel. Cheers 🥃🥃
Thanks brother
I've been looking at the BMW K1200/1300S for some comfortable backroad fun. I've always been in love with the looks of the bike but stories like yours are pushing me towards a Concourse or VFR.
You handled this well. We need more Harley lovers like you. 👍
Another good video. Rode Harley all my life. Still ride my first Harley. 74 FXE. But I went to indian 8 years ago. Now on my second Springfield.
I appreciate Harley, but own a Kawasaki 650 2015... changed the oil regularly, one battery change, and we're still rocking and rolling in 2024. No other issues (yet). I will admit that I only have 21k+ miles though.
I’ve ridden Harley for 20 years. I now ride BMW and will never go back.
Probably lucky that you are a popular youtuber. Us regular folks may not have gotten the attention you did.
Mine was having similar issues, except I keep losing the stereo sound. And was getting trouble codes on the dash. They did every update. Haven’t had a chance to go for a decent ride because of the snow. But like you said, we pay enough money for him, we shouldn’t have any issues from the get-go.
Hey mine did this I just pulled the main fuse to reset the bike and it fixed the problem hope it helps
There is an update for the os but be careful because it can possibly brick the system. My bike is sitting at the dealership with 200 miles on it and it won't boot up.
We pay top dollar for shit that needs improving from factory,indians are lookin little better purchase for the money
I just found out that our dealership is charging too much for parts. I’m gonna start buying my stuff from other dealerships. Even if I have to travel hundreds of miles to get them. Great review and glad your issues got worked out with your bike.
You get what you pay for anyone can make a pig look pretty if they put makeup on it, Harley has been selling a beer budget product and charging champagne prices.
I use to be a Harley Fan Boy but I got tired of getting RIPPED a new ass!! Overpriced & then you don’t get enough for your money,you have to cam your engine up to create more Hp because they’re slow asf! Once you finish upgrading the suspension & everything else it lacks,you then realize you’ve been ROYALLY PHUCKED!…
I had same issue with H OG owners group. My bike died on side of road 75 miles from home. HOG told me they had no tow trucks available on a Saturday at 2pm. I’m also with you on passing up other dealers to get good service. I drive 300 miles round trip to get my bike serviced because of the quality of service.
I haven't had to deal with HOG Tow yet but I've also got Towing on my Insurance and Verizon cell plan. I like make sure the bases are covered.
I use AAA with RV that covers motorcycles and it will even cover another bike riding with us. Only needed it twice both rear flat related. Once hauled to dealer that was open and once to my home. Worth every penny.
@@SCBiker58, I have AAA too but haven’t had to use their towing service yet. I carry a plug kit for flat tires
@@bobhat2001 I carry a plug kit as well but first instance we ran over a huge shoulder bolt that the hole was the size of a nickel. I couldn’t plug it and tried. The second was we were parked downtown and someone took a knife to a brand new rear that had maybe 300 miles. Pissed is an understatement.
The only reason I get another Harley at almost 80 years old... If I had a 75 ft boat... And needed a very expensive anchor😂😂😂... Good stuff, thanks for posting...👍👍👍
Good on you Helping fellow Riders who may encounter same or similar problems...Cheers!
That same starting issue happened to Thrashing Supply on a 2024 CVO Harley loaner bike. He was on the beach at Daytona.
I seen that as well
My neighbor has an HD....always problems with it. Mainly the M8 motor.
Jochen's folly. RIP, HD
The Thrashin’ Supply guys had the same problem with the bikes they rode at Daytona this year. Sounded just like what yours sounded like.
Loving a Harley is like loving a hooker.
Its gonna cost you and people are going to laugh at you.
I have a ‘24 Street Glide and no issues. Two things I see being done incorrectly. First is you have to let the infotainment completely cycle before pressing start button takes about 30 seconds. Second only press then release the starter button do not hold the starter button down. Time will tell.
30 seconds to start a bike? what is it, a diesel? lol
Hahahahaha
Yeah, the infotainment system is a computer and needs to boot up. Kind of a pain but still love the bike
@DaemonWulf7 apparently you have to wait for the glow plugs to heat up the infotainment center😂
@@PitbullSoco ya gotta love how throwing new tech at something makes it less efficient. i can only imagine being the dumbass in the group with a 2024 goin "hold on, guys.. i gotta wait for my computer! don't leave without me!"
I have the same bike - 2024 Whiskey Fire and Black Road Glide. I think it's going to be the most popular color combo lol....though the Sharkskin was but guess we'll be a sea of Whiskey Fire Bikes! I have 500 miles on mine (live in WI, so although we've had a mild winter and I've been able to ride some still weather limited). I haven't had any issues starting or anything like you described, I did have some of the early speaker issues and what not that was fixed with the software updates. So far mine has been solid, but I am keeping an open mind and calm demeanor. I know that buying the first year model for so many changes I'm likely to experience weird issues and I accepted that before I signed the paperwork. That's not a Harley only issue, but basically ANYTHING you buy the first year of (motorcycles, cars, computers, software, etc) you have to be chill about being a bug tester to some degree. I am confident that Harley will fix anything that comes up and we'll have a solid experience with these bikes for years to come.
Great video man! I've had a 2024 Street Glide for about a month and a half now, about 250 mi on it an absolutely love it! Coming off for 2016 Fatboy. Only issue I've had is losing sound out my speakers which was temporarily corrected by pulling the main breaker from the fuse panel and reinstalling it a couple minutes later. Since then I've gotten both downloads and no issues again yet. Like you said new design new problems, got to be patient but hardly knocked it out of the park with these new 24s! Best of luck with yours!
Dude, I'm glad you got it sorted out, but now I'm super nervous because I just picked my 2024 yesterday.
Don't worry, Harley Davidson most likely knows what the issue is, you are just going to have to pay another $5 to $10 grand to fix it, it's Harley baby.
Are you sure you didn't buy a washing machine with handlebars??
I hopenyou don't have any issues. Ride Safe, Brother
I got into a “discussion” with my local Harley and told them I wouldn’t buy until it’s been out for a couple years. He poo poo’d my concerns as unfounded😂
I am an Indian guy, but I do not want to see an American business fail. Not that Harley is failing, but they are headed that way with the outrageous prices, stale models, and reliability issues.
In 2021 i bought a brandnew Sportglide. The front suspension had “dip stick” and the suspension was like a Rocking horse! They put new SKF low friction in it. In the first 1000km there was also orange rust all over the tailbone and brake! This was coming out the diagonal tube from the rear side! At least they glued it with kit?!.!.?
Same issues when I bought my 22 Indian Pursuit. Almost identical issues that took multiple trips to the dealer, and eventually Indian had an engineer get involved because the new bikes are so full of computers and electronics.
Very frustrating, but finally all good now. I'm sure they will get it figured out.
My friend has a 2022 Indian Challenger with nothing but computer problems and starting issues. It’s a total POS for $38k. 💩💩💩FJB 🖕🇨🇳
Great video brother, having many of the same issues on my CA 23.5 CVO, and most local dealers, thank you for taking the time to make this. I have done several videos on my various bikes and dealing with HD issues, but glad you got some assistance. Maybe I need to link up with Matt as well.
Great info, I got a 2024 street glide and knock on wood no issues so far (250 miles). Sad to see quality issues with parts/bikes now a days but I don’t think that’s ever going away. I picked up a 2023 KTM 350 EXC-F and with less than 100 miles I was on my 3rd motor. First one decided to blow up on my way home from the dealer after only 25 miles.
Thanks for the video. I have the CVO ST. Only issue is the stereo sound sometimes not coming on. Have done the reset three times. Hopefully there’s a flash out there for it I’ve been traveling and haven’t had time to mess with it.
But I got to tell you I have a brand new center console boat with three Mercury 600’s. Two of the motors needed new PCM’s, and then a couple of alternators needed to be replaced. I tell you that only to make a point that it’s the technology with all these modern electronics in our different machines and not a Harley specific issue. My RV is the same thing.
We all want bigger, faster better, but that comes with having to put up with all the problems while they get sorted out. Once the punch list is complete it sure is fun.
Just for clarification purposes :
What is BCM on a Harley?
BCM Dynamic Load Isolator for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
Custom Dynamics® Dynamic Load Isolator (DLI) isolates the motorcycle's Body Control Module (BCM) allowing for the use of almost any aftermarket lighting product or electrical accessory. Simple plug and play installation provides isolated power, accessory & ground output banks.
Sorry you went through that. Glad you had everything resolved. Ride safe, everyone.
I got mine from Pikes Peak HD, put about 450 miles on it a couple days later, I haven't had any issues with it. Same whiskey fire and black. They did a really good job on these bikes, just some kinks with the new tech on them.
And why I’ll pick up a used 2024 in 2026+.
Let others who have to be ‘first in line’ work the bugs out. Has worked for me for….ever.🎉
I am glad that a bought my rg st 2023 in last in 2023 mine run real fine 😉
I got almost 1k on mine. No problem so far
Apparently 97% of what Harley support tells folks is excuses. Dollars to donuts, get ANYTHING else.
It amazes me people will pay their ridiculous prices...simply amazing
The most reliable bike I've ever owned was a 1982 Yamaha 650 Seca air-cooled 4 cyl. Bought it brand new in '84 when I was stationed in California. Sold it in 2000 with 102,000 miles on the stock motor.
Still had good compression and ran great...needed new carbs. Most of the issues with vehicles today relate to unreliable computer chips/electronics. I wouldn't buy a 1st-year release of any vehicle today...they need a couple years to iron out the glitches. Nice bike...glad they seemingly have your trouble figured out. It's frustrating to spend that much on anything and have those problems.
I was stationed at Point Mugu in 83 to 86. Some great riding, but I don't miss all the nuts
Good information Hegshot. Literally just picked up my new 2024 Road Glide today. Same color by the way.
Thanks man. the color is sweet.. Enjoy your new bike brother!
Love the content man, local to CHarleston as well. Just bought my first Harley in Oct. 2015 Street Glide Special. As a short rider, your earlier videos especially helped me out a ton. Hopefully you do some sort of meet up soon, I would love to shake your hand and thank you in person! Ride Safe Brother!
Thanks brother
I have a 2022 Softail Standard and it is great 95% of the time but, weird shit happens from time to time related to the electronics. At 650 miles, it died at a stoplight for no reason with no check engine light. Also, during the winter, better keep it charged or you get check engine lights after recharging it. I have a Ram 1500 just clocked 190K , miles and the electronics are the last thing I have to worry about. HD needs to make the bikes like modern cars, worry free other than basic maintenance otherwise younger people won't buy them.
just wondering what a BCM is other than a defective part and what it does..?
Body Control Module
Think I'll stick with my Evo Heritage..
I love all of my motorcycles. Each of them are different. My Sportster, Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto,my little BSA C-15 250 singles, my Airhead BMW'S , and especially my favorite my URAL side car outfit. Built like a tank. Wish they still came with the machine gun. Perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse.
People make sure when you trade your bikes in that the bike your purchasing is the contracted properly or warranty will not pay until the issue is corrected. I traded for a 2012 heritage in January 2024 and did not pay attention to the milage on the contract, they put the milage from the bike i traded in on the contract. It's been in for steering steering bearing work that Harley in Texarkana TX decided not to repair it correctly by using the same old worn out parts but packed them with new grease. I received the bike back and the issue was still there. At the present time it's setting at Lonestar Harley in Tyler Tx on a rack in the shop torn down waiting on parts. Warranty won't pay at the moment because milage discrepancy on the contract, so now I've got to wait two more days for Harley to fix the discrepancy so warranty will pay. Haven't got to ride this bike but about 100 miles since January and most of that is riding back to the shop for repairs. It's bad when you ask the shop maintenance boss what all new parts did you put in the steering stem and says! We only repacked the old bearings and had to overtighen the stem bolt to get most of the slack out. I wanna go visit the man that said it but I'd end up in jail, that's taking a chance on killing someone if that was to break going down the highway. The expression on my wife's face when she heard the man say what they had done. I'll be purchasing a Indian if i ever decide to get another bike. This is my second go around with Harley Davidson anyways there won't be a third.
Thanks for the heads up! I just bought the same bike/same color. No issues yet but only about 100 miles so far. Cleveland is still mostly cold.
That Road glide should have come with some Astro glide.
Another reason to NOT spend that kind of scratch on a bike... My $15k Suzuki has given me years and 1,000's of miles of problem free riding. Fuel, oil changes and tires... Nothing else
I have a 2022 Pursuit, and I waited 2 years for it to come out in spite of how bad I wanted a Challenger. Buying a new model is always a crap shoot, and I wanted some of those bugs worked out. Occasionally a light would come on, but Indians stock answer was shut it down, wait a few seconds for it to reset, then crank it up, make sure all of the lights went out and go. Fortunately, the few times that a light or two would come on that process always worked. Hang in there, and remember that you're the guinea pig to get the bugs worked out. Eventually, you'll get everything straightened out, and you'll be able to trust it completely.
He should hv bought a challenger, lol .luv mine best bike I've ever owned
@@williebaker1901My buddy has a 2022 Challenger that has all sorts of starting and computer issues. It’s a $38k POS. 💩 FJB 🖕🇨🇳
Thanks for the video! my '24 RG has the same no start issues and now im getting Key FOB not detected while riding. been to the dealer 5 times so far. Will be calling harley next week after seeing this.
I had old first do something similar. After 3 people looked at it l took it back to Blue Soribgs In Mo. Where l bought it. I told problem and they gave me a dynamic or softail wide glide and rectified problem.
I later traded wideglide for Roadking win .... win
You got to work the bugs out of that new machine ! I have a 2019 CVO Street Glide and it has been a blast ! No problems ever ! But as you know my 2019 is outdated sad to say ! I love it and it will be my last Harley I buy !
The fact that you say that with confidence is crazy the bike is barely in 5 years old
Im waiting for 2025 models but I greatly appreciate the people that bought 2024's to work through the kinks.
When you don't trust a new machine 100% - it's like you come home from work early and you find a plumber truck parked in your driveway and your wife tells you there's a problem with the sink and you respond- but I'm a plumber.
Glad you got the issues worked out, the 24 Road Glide is beautiful,, good luck with it, ride safe, love the channel 🏍️🏍️
Thanks brother
I'm planning on purchasing this bike in the future. I appreciate your honest reviews.
Found me a couple nice VTX 1800s, and a Raider 1900, cheap, low miles , no tech, just fuel injection. Been years, dependable, like new . I just like getting on and going. . Maybe one day I will be in the Harley league.
I’ve got 3400 miles on mine no issues other than running 85 in heavy rain back from Daytona choked it up a bit temporarily.
They are really sweet looking. Ill upgrade in a few years. Till then my 17 RGU will keep me going.
I'd like a new bike but I watch this and thank the God above that I own a 04 Road King that doesn't have all the electronics. I am talking to a guy at Harley about the value of my bike and they are saying it is only 6-9 grand. Well I have a lot of mods and it is old but beautiful and worth a lot more than that, at least to me. I'll stick to my mechanical bikes, well as long as they have fuel injection anyway...haha
Great video… I felt the same way about the floorboards on the 24s! Great it all worked out in the end! Ride Every Day and Enjoy It!
Thanks brother
Not jackin on Orlando HD. But I have 3 HD motos. Watchin your vid. I had an interestin conversation with a HD engineer at the HD expo at Daytona Speedway. Most of these new bikes are dealin with poltergeist electrical issues. I figured out when I had a pickup it was easy to run a diagnostic, read codes, Google what the codes are, and one code I found interesting. 1151c. Turns out the engineer was aware of what's goin on. The pin connectors from the ECM and or BCM are coated poorly. If this persists after clearing codes those harnesses need to be replaced. I've checked with seminole HD and they too have seen this. I've got 4000 on my ST and it has done this twice. Both times I cleared the codes and everything went normal. I'm thinking if those terminal connects get moisture on them that's what's giving the problem to the modules. My pan america gave me problems because the AGM factory battery was insufficient to run the infotainment system I switched to a lithium at twice the CCA and that solved that problem. I'm now looking for a lithium for ST. This could be the simple cure. According to NOCO and Antigravity they do not make a replacement lithium at this time. My road king also has a lithium and I've not had any issues. If some has experimented with a lithium for these new bikes it just might be the answer. At least some dealers and HD are aware of the issue. 😊
Lithium batteries have a high potential to catch on fire. Scary thought
@OverlandUSAHD it's how they are used. For instance, when not in use, such as a motorcycle, use the appropriate chargers. My 3 motorcycles are kept on trickle chargers because even though they are off, alarm systems, GPS, sound systems, and cameras consume power. My chargers only charge at 1 Amp. Just enough to keep the battery at full charge. It takes a long charge cycle but won't over charge and cause issues. We use lithium batteries in just about every thing today. If used correctly they are safe.
Okay. A new bcm fixed the problems. Thanks for the headsup!
Man i feel your pain when you lose trust in your bike because constant issue i had the same problem with my bike that i bought new and after 3 separate issue on the bike could not trust it anymore to go on trip so i sold it and went for another brand of motorcycle and so far so good , and dont fear to go on long ride anymore peace of mine it a must for me anyway. Ride safe mate and hello from Montreal Quebec.
Ya this is partly why I wait 1-2 years before buying a recently updated bike. Takes a couple of years to work out some of the kinks.
Really like the channel and I just got the 24 in white onyx pearl. Hoping it ends up going OK. Did you put the Harley chopped two pack on? I like the look
OK, you explained it at the end, thanks
Thanks man. The white onyx pearl looks great too
Don't sweat the breakdowns. There's an instant fix for any and all Harley problems. Sell and buy an Indian. Lol! Ride safe and enjoy the ride.✌️
First year model blues. Kind of have to expect “something” to be a problem - It would be strange if there wasn’t something popping up in a brand new model. Glad you got it sorted relatively quickly.
2000 miles on my 24 heritage. Everything has been great so far
The Heritage hasn't changed at all in like 5 years or more. They're proven at this point.
New model year bugs. I’ll wait, keep us updated on these quirks.
Another reason not to buy anything from Harley the first year.
never buy 1st gen anything
Ever
Never buy HD at all
That's for certain !!!
@@xclent1975..specially if you can’t afford it.
This sounds all too familiar.. happened in 2017 with the new M8 ..sumping..fluid transfer from primary to trans..amongst other crap..l"ll stick with the Transcontinental..great ride..reliable thus far..best fit n finish..sorry for ur issues.. unfortunately it seems this is the norm for HD..but it does look nice😊
Not being a Harley owner, please let the rest of us know what "BCM" means.
This is why I'll stay with my old bike simple and can do myself.
I don’t think it was right for your dealer to have you go get the bike back for you to take a video and deal with customer services, when they could’ve done themselves while the bike was already there. Makes me feel a bit concern about having an issue and end up having to do the same.
Harley’s are really expensive, especially the CVO editions and these experiences make you put things in perspective. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for this. Bought a 2024 Roadglide but haven't got delivery yet. Dealership said another week or so. Hopefully there won't be any issues but I'll know what to look for now 👊
I should have bought. 2023 when my local dealer was practically giving them away to make room for 24’s.
Think I’ll hold on to my ‘19 Limited for a while. Like others have said, this was a year of big changes and time is needed for the bugs to be worked out. And nice to see you in my neck of the woods. I’m in the Daytona Beach area and will consider going into Orlando or Sanford if I want to get a new bike.
Thanks for the review buddy sorry I missed you at Daytona!
I have your same bike. Whiskey fire on black. 32 miles on it. Hopefully I won't have those issues but now i know what the problem is.
Glad you put this video out. I plan on buying a 24 SG or RG. Hope I don’t have this problem but thank you for letting us know. Love your videos. 🤙
Thanks man
Most people don’t have a Harley contact. Your average guy would be F’d…
So what are you saying they replaced your ECM? You never specified very confused…
My delivery driver told me to turn the bike on but don’t start it until it goes through its process or it won’t start. If this happens, turn it off for about 2 minutes and you’ll be good to go.
with my temper and your guns that bike would be full of holes !!! love my VTX1800 , sorry dad but you showed me Harleys are like FORDs fix or repair daily.
I have an 04 and 08, low mileage VTX 1800. Man they are nice.
I don't understand why they don't just disconnect the negative lead from the battery to avoid the "transport mode" all together.
I won’t let my wife watch this…lol. She picks up her new ‘24 street glide in a week or so. Don’t want to scare her. But thanks for sharing this info.
This is why my 2019 CVO Ultra Limited is my last new Harley Davidson 😢
The good news for Harley is, now no one is talking about the problems with the Pan America! 🤣
Being able to buy a bike in this range, and,then having all this time to play these games with it, lets me know, the economy is good.
I owned 3 HDs since 1998. Fat Boy, Road Glide, Dyna, and several (30 bikes overall since 1970). Not to piss off any HD owners I would say the HDs are the worst initial quality bikes I ever owned. I had Honda's, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki liter bikes in the 1980's and 1990's and they were pretty much bullet proof. I had Boss Hoss small block and big block (Chevy) bikes in the 2000's. The Boss Hoss reminded me of a home-made project bike and they were. Heat problems with those. The Fat Boy bike smoked on the way to work with 300 miles on the odo and it was the paper tappet cover gaskets gone bad. The Dallas Dealer installed red rubber gaskets but wanted $400 and the bike was under warranty. We argued on that one. I think the best overall bike I ever owned was a 1979 Kawasaki SR650 4 cylinder (to date). I rode that machine into the ground going to work and college. It sat out in the ice and snow and on my porch and always ran like a marathon man. I blew a back tire and rode it 10 miles on a flat and it didn't hurt the bike. I sold it in 1984 with 65,000 miles. Never anything bad happened with that bike. It was like a US Navy Seal. Just kept going. I now own a Triumph Rocket 3 GT. The torque is amazing with 221 n/m or about 155 pound-feet at 4000 rpm. The build quality is amazing. HD sales are down the last 3 years and good reason for it. Mellennials don't have gobs of cash to purchase an HD bike. The Covid pandemic left a lot of people with less disposible income. Housing costs are up. HD won't budge on their prices and Asian bikes are sometimes half of the cost of a Harley. And Harleys are not all American built either. To each their own but I won't purchase another HD.
You'll probably never fully trust that bike. I had a significant issue with a vehicle of mine and it took the local dealer 3 weeks to fix it. It's still not perfect but it hasn't left me stranded. Now that I'm out of the warranty period it's more of z concern. You just feel like your days are numbered. At least my wife agrees that if it happens again the vehicle is gone.
Always expect hiccups with Harley’s…it’s part of their charm & character.
