- Risk
- This could lead to an oil leak and/or possible fire, which could result in injury or death to the rider.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a battery caddy that will protect the cable and ensure proper cable routing. This recall began on may 4, 2007. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1‑414‑342‑4080.

What 2007 Harley-Davidson FXST owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I own a 2007 harley davidson fxst softail motorcycle. The motorcycle was in my possession for ten months when I noticed a dry rot on the side wall of the front tire. The rear tire is in great condition, with no dry rot at all. I keep my motorcycle serviced and maintained continuously. The tire pressure was never low, or damaged in any way shape or form. I have been an avid rider and owner of many motorcycles. I have never seen this issue with a motorcycle tire on a new motorcycle before. I called the dealership, new river harley davidson and they in not so many words advised me "oh well, your problem, not ours we don't cover tires!". I have heard of at least three or more similar complaints from the area where I live. The owners complained of the exact same front tire problem. I am not sure if they have taken it to this level. I am worried that the harley davidson cooperation is not taking responsibility for an issue of such importance that could lead to someone being killed or seriously injured. I hope that you can help me with this. If there is another level I could go to, please let me know. I don't believe I should be responsible for a defective tire installed on my brand new motorcycle. Thank you, jack cohen
