  • Valve train noise complaints
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 06, 2012

    I see a lot of people complaining about the valve train noise on new Big Twins and dealers tell them it is normal. At my shop we switched over to using conventional oil instead of synthetic oil and it made a huge difference in noise and less heat was noticed. Same goes for primary and trans as ...

  • My opinion 2010 HD Touring
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 12, 2011

    Far from riding a trembling HD with carburetors: it rides 100% like a Japanese bike.

    Excellent 6th speed, accurate, not tough on gasoline compared to my 2006 Electra glide classic, easy to ride etc...

    Muffler sound disappointing, electronic and alarm system in control ...

    BOTTOM LINE: too much of a Japanese ride for me... my disappointment.

  • 2010 HD Road King Review
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 08, 2010

    I am 64 and have been riding Harleys for near 35 years. I have bought new ones and used ones and worked on them as well.

    I am not impressed with my new 2010 Road King. I am less impressed with the HD company's attitude on the issues with the bike.

    1. Valve train is very noisy. These ...

    2. The new style rear brakes, when applied firmly, gives off a vibration to the pedal that feels like you are riding on pavement that has been ground in preperation for new asphalt. Why does a new bikes brakes feel worse than previous model brakes when the previous models worked fine?

    3. Bike pulls to the left when you let go of the handle bars. (yes, on flat level roads)That means something is out of alignment i.e. forks, triple trees, frame, rear wheel etc. They can't find the problem in specific so they claim all the new Road Kings do this! So that makes it OK I guess if they all do it!!

    4. When I took the bike in for the second servicing at near 7K miles, I told them the forks wobbled when handle bars were released at 38-42 MPH. They did nothing to try to fix that. You can feel the wobbling in your hands at other sppeds as well as the pulling to the left which makes the riders arms tire easily from constantly fighting the pull and the wobble (though mild) at all speeds.

    At $19,000 for a new bike I should be in love with it. Everything that is wrong with it seems to be in tolerance as far as they are concearned. I have bought new bikes and never had these issues. It seems that if there is a manufacturing problem, they just increase the tolerance range which then makes everything within tolerances and OK by them. Anyone else that can add to this or support these issues out there?

    4. The ride is not as smooth as my 2001 Road King was. It is much harsher on small bumps as well as vibrations to the floor boars.
