The ABS module has failed on my HD FLHTK causing the rear brake to stop working with no warning. The dealer has my bike but said the module is out of stock and is back ordered until April of 2024. Doing an internet search reveals this is a known problem, sometimes causing both front and rear brakes to fail without warning. They said the brake fluid should have been replaced every two years to avoid this problem. I did not know this. The risk is obvious. The diagnosis was done by Henderson Harley-Davidson, in Henderson, Nevada. My bike remains there. There was no warning before the failure.

The 2014 harley-davidson service manual touring models (99483-14) contains a procedure for brake fluid replacement which does not require taking the vehicle to the dealer unless air IS introduced into the brake system. subsequent to the publication of this manual, some 2008-2011 harley-davidson motorcycle models were involved in an nhtsa recall for ABS brake issues. after the recall was issued, harley-davidson now requires that all year model motorcycles with ABS have the brake fluid replacement performed using the digital technician II (hd-48650), which IS not available to owners. the digital technician II activates the ABS module during a brake fluid replacement to ensure all contimanated brake fluid IS flushed from the ABS module and brake lines. as I stated, the 2014 service manual does not require this step. harley-davidson allows owners to purchase service manuals in order for owners to perform their own service and repairs to their harley-davidson motorcycles without having to take the motorcycles to the dealer for service and repairs. therefore, owners would have no way of knowing that a critical brake service procedure has been changed which, if done as outlined in the older service manual, could end up causing serious injury or death to the the rider and/or passenger. I feel it IS negligent of harley-davidson to substantially change this procedure without notifying owners.

Faulty ABS system. Myself and many of my friends are very concerned about the ABS systems on our harleys. The recall covers from 2008-2011. We are not quite sure of why you would let harley continue to manufacture motorcycles with a faulty system that would allow brakes to lock up instead of the system most everyone else uses where the ABS IS just disabled but still have normal brake functions except for the ABS. I was a mechanic for many years and was around when the first ABS systems came about. I never had this problem before something has to be done before more people are hurt.

Traveling at highway speed the check engine light and overheat light came on. I immediately pulled over and shut off the engine. after consulting with local HD dealer by phone was advised to have the bike towed to the dealer for repair (per HD memo). problem was determined to be a faulty water pump which caused the engine to overheat. dealer stated, and confirmed at other HD dealers, that they have not been able to keep these water pumps in stock due to the high failure rate. necessity to shut down the engine due to overheating caused an unsafe condition due to remaining alongside the highway until a tow vehicle could move bike. this IS a known failure on 2014 HD motorcycles with "twin cooling" according to several dealers. once replaced, the new pump motors function properly.

With cruise control set at highway speeds, as I approached slower moving vehicles I tapped the front brake like I have done so many times before; but this time the cruise did not cancel. I tapped the front brake several more times and hard enough to make the front end dive. But the bike kept accelerating. I took quick action to shut the cruise off. after getting clear of other traffic I tried to duplicate the problem. I was able to cancel cruise with the rear brake but not the front. 24 hrs later I went for a ride and this time everything worked normally. I was able to cancel cruise control but just tapping the front brake lever at least 6 times. *tr

2014 harley davidson ultra limited. consumer writes in regards to engine vibration, throttle issues, clutch compensator and possible eitms failure. *smd the consumer stated he noticed a vibration from the engine which was more than he expected, and an intermittent knock from the engine. The HD personnel said it was normal. the consumer stated he liked the power and ride as speed. However, when the throttle was rolled off, the bike lugged and surged and at idle there was significant vibration. Also, at idle there was a heavy. Loud intermittent clunking sound much like a pre-ignition knock. The consumer received different opinions of what the problem was. However, the consumer believed the twin overhead cam engine was an issue for the manufacturer. *Jb

While I was riding my 2014 harley davidson flhtk motorcycle on a 35 mph two lane city street, the shifter shaft lever became stripped. I was unable to shift the motorcycle out of first gear after a stop and traffic was backing up behind and passing me creating somewhat of a hazard. Fortunately for me I was in an area where I was able to safely exit the roadway. Had this incident occurred on a roadway with limited access/sight lines and higher speeds an injury could have resulted.

Yesterday (04/03/16), I was traveling through northern va (on route #66), on my way home. Trying to take an exit to gas up, I wasn't able to shift at all. So I'm trying to pull over (very worried I might be hit by an another commuter in a very busy highway / 1ST safety issue), to check the bike, I couldn't use my left floor board (affecting my balance / 2ND safety issue), because the shifter and shifter shaft were out of their position and laying on my floor board (these parts could have just flew away and hit another vehicle on the road / 3RD safety issue). Finally, I stopped the motorcycle, checked the bike, put it on 3RD gear, using linkage and made it to local HD dealership. After this scary experience a gentlemen at the dealership (just a customer with a similar motorcycle rushmore touring), told me that he had the same exact issue as well; thanks!

When applying the front brakes, under light braking situations, brake light does not turn on. I brought the motorcycle to the dealer with my concern and the dealer could not find a problem. Since I first noticed the brake light not coming on when the front brake was applied, I have been able to reproduce the event with consistent results. I have a strong concern that while holding the brake at a full stop and with no brake light active, that I am susceptible to a rear end collision.

The front brakes make a terrible noise when applied. Not all the time, but very often. While brake stopping IS currently normal, I have never heard this kind of noise on any of the dozens of motorcycles I have owned over the last 40+ years. I have had the bike at the dealer numerous times and they say they are unable to recreate the noise. Yet it happens almost every time I ride it. I even provided them and H-D factory with video of it happening over and over. The dealer (hellbender H-D, marietta ga) said they will not correct the problem. H-D factory customer service blamed me for the problem, saying it was because I was not using the rear brake. This IS ridiculous, as I have use coordinated braking all my life, and besides, no brake system should make this noise under any circumstances. I am concerned that there IS a materials problem with the rotors or calipers, or that a manufacturing error has caused a defect that will prevent the motorcycle from stopping. The dealer has refused to replace any parts (except brake pads) and refused to swap a wheel assembly for diagnostic purposes. They simply do not want to spend a penny, even if it makes the bike safe for me to ride. *tr

The front brake lever hydraulic pressure switch, which activates the brake light and disables the cruise control, fails to activate before significant pressure IS applied. The brakes begin to function long before the brake light comes on or the cruise disconnects. This causes a problem when stopped, as the brake light doesn't come on when using the front brake alone, unless serious pressure IS applied to the lever, far more than normally required to hold the bike stopped against a slope. Also, cruise fails to disengage if only the front lever IS gently pulled; the bike begins to slow considerably before the cruise disengages. brake stopping action IS normal. Rear brake foot pedal works properly and the brake light comes on normally, that IS with light pressure, about the same time as braking action begins. the dealer (shop manager [xxx] , marietta ga) compared my brake action to several other 2014 bikes and he said they all are like that. But it's not normal and it causes me distress that it doesn't work properly. I want my brake light to come on when I pull the lever. I worry that I'll get hit by a car which doesn't think I'm stopped. I want my cruise to disengage when I pull the lever. This switch IS a common part with all 2014 touring model H-D motorcycles, and maybe earlier models. *tr

The front spark plug wire on 2014 harley davidson touring motorcycles IS routed along the left side of the frame under the fuel tank. At the point where the front spark plug wire emerges from beneath the fuel tank, the spark plug wire touches and rubs against the fuel tank. There have been numerous reports from owners of these motorcycles of the insulation being damaged over time by the continuous rubbing on the tank creating the potential for an electrical short circuit and fire at the fuel tank. the potential for a fire IS further supported by the fact that the motorcycle leans to the left when on the kick stand. This positioning causes any fuel spill during re-fueling to flow to the area of the potential short circuit increasing the chance for a fire when the motorcycle IS started after the spill. *js

Harley davidson had a voluntary recall on clutch failures in 2013 and supposedly they resolved this issue. I bought my bike brand new an at 1200 miles the clutch failed and I was unable to stop the bike. Luckily I was pulling in my driveway. The dealer fixed the clutch the next day. 600 miles later on june 7 I was on my way home on a rainy and wet road and the clutch failed again at a very busy intersection. Luck again was on my side as no traffic so I just kept going as I knew once past this intersection I was on backroads rest of the way home. If it were not for me being a skilled rider I would had to lay this bike down in order to stop on a wet road. This needs to be addressed immediately the local dealership reported to me with my bike they now have 4 bikes in the shop with same clutch failures. Someone IS going to get hurt or killed if this IS not fixed.... You can not merely stop a bike easily while rolling by hitting the kill switch and if there IS a passenger aboard this then has the bike top heavy and most people can not hold a bike that weighs over 900 lbs and the passenger up by abruptly killing the engine to stop. *tr

On 04/24/14 driving at app. 45 mph and check engine light came on and lost power from rear cylinder. App. 30 to 45 secs. Later , light went off and power returned to rear cylinder. Went down road a few more miles and same thing occurred again. This time light stayed on and no power from rear cylinder. Checked code from engine and came up with po264 which IS "rear injector high". Took to dealer next day. On 4/26/14 was driving at app. 65 mph same thing occurred 4 times. Took to dealer on 5/1/14. Got bike back same day from dealer. On 5/3/14 same thing occurred and had dealer pick up. On 5/5/14 picked bike from dealer and withing 3.5 miles from dealer traveling at app. 55 mph, same thing happened but this time I was in a lot of traffic and came within a foot of being struck by another vehicle due to the sudden power loss of the rear cylinder. Got bike home and trailered it to dealer on 5/6/14. Dealer contacted HD because they have checked everything they could. My concern IS the safety factor from the loss of power and sudden reduction in speed in traffic. *tr

- 10222358TECHNICAL TIP BULLETIN TA0016: 2014 and Later Touring Steering Head Bearing Adjustment. PURPOSE: REVISION. Updated: 2014-2019 to 2014 and later Touring vehicles, and VEHICLES AFFECTED. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are designed, manufactured and tested to be operated with both of the riders hands on the handlebar. If you or a customer are experiencing a handling concern, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING, HANDLING, IRREGULARITIES found in the MAINTAINANCE chapter of the appropriate service manual. The service manual process is not intended to validate factory settings, but rather to be used if a concern is presented. Through extensive testing, Harley-Davidson has developed the service manual specification and adjustment procedure as the optimum steering head bearing adjustment and verification method to achieve the desired handling characteristics across all speeds and conditions. Addressing a perceived feel of low speed wobble, oscillation or free play by adjusting the steering head bearings beyond the service manual specification may have an adverse effect on motorcycle stability.
- 10195169Harley-Davidson is aware of conditions that may result in a streaking appearance or film residue on the inside of some instrument gauges including speedometer and tachometers. This may occur after exposure of the vehicle to humid conditions. This condition may remain even after the moisture has evaporated.

- 10195140This bulletin is to inform dealers of the steps to perform after performing the Touring and Trike Rear Shock absorber callback return. The shipping plug must be transferred from the new shock to the return shock. When oil is allowed to leak during the return process, the call-back issue cannot be properly diagnosed. Installing the plug in the return shock contains the oil in the shock during the shipment to the supplier.

- 10139399TECH ARTICLE TA0023: TA0023: Crankshaft Rod Bearing. Purpose: Technicians have been falsely identifying connecting rod bearings as failed due to a perception of resistance as the rods are rotated. The clearance of the Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight crank pin bearings are maintained to a very tight range. This optimizes performance and maintains low mechanical noise in operation. The connecting rod bore can also distort slightly in operation due to stress relaxation. As a result, bearing clearance decreases due to the contact zone broadening and the load being distributed over more rollers. The combination of a bore being slightly out of round and reduced bearing clearance can result in varying degrees of resistance through the range of motion. Axial clearance is also tightly controlled for proper alignment. For these reasons, zones of resistance can be found when the connecting rods are rotated by hand through their range of motion. Resistance during rod motion, by itself, is not an indication of a performance or durability concern.

Issue: Some CB (Citizens band) radio equipped Touring model customers have expressed concern about manipulating the PTT (Push to talk) button on the right hand control, while operating the throttle control. Symptom: Rider's comfort. Resolution: To address this concern, a new feature is included in DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II (PART NUMBER: HD-48650) software version 11.0 that allows the configuration of the PTT and cruise control buttons to be interchanged.
