2002 Harley-Davidson Flhtcu-1 Shrine problems

Filed Sep 11, 2007 · Engine · 36,000 miles · WI

I have filed a complaint with the wisconsin department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection, and I believe that they have sent you a copy of that complaint. On july 6, 2007 we were riding in the hills of tenn. When the engine of my 2002 harley- davidson flhtcui fire fighter edition with 36,000 miles had a catastrophic engine failure caused by cam bearing failure. The engine is junk and needs to be remanufactured. My concern is that harley has known that they have a problem with the twin cam engine bearings going out and will not stand behind their product which is a $3,600.00 repair. The bigger concern is that we were only going 25-30 miles per hour when this happened and I had all to do to keep from crashing. What if we were on the interstate doing 70 miles per hour. What kind of faith am I going to need when I get the engine back after remanufactured. *tr updated 12/12/07

On 1-20-2006, I was operating my 2002 harley davidison ultra classic, when the entire electrical system shutdown. I was traveling at about 50 MPH when this happened. The motorcycle rolled to a stop and after a few moments it started. About a 1/4 mile up the road it happened again. I had been using the bike for about 16 miles / 25 minutes when this occurred. This is not the first time. In november 12, 2005, I took the motorcycle to the harleydavidison dealership to complain about the same problem. They told me that this problem had nothing to do with the prior recall on a circuit breaker. I was charged $70.00 and told they found a pinched wire. I asked about the recall, and they informed me, my motorcycle had the recall completed during a prior maintenance. I believe that either the replaced circuit breaker is also bad or there is a new problem that will cause someone to get hurt.
