What owners say
The fuel gauge does not properly work due to float issues. This can leave people stranded. This is a well known issue and I do not see why harley has not been held accountable as of yet...
1. Fuel gauge goes to 100% empty just after showing 1/2 tank. The indicator needle drops within 3 tenths to 1 mile of use after the 1/2 tank mark shows. This issue has stranded me more than a half dozen times as I try to estimate fuel left in tank while using the motorcycle. 2. Electric fans mounted directly to radiator worked loose. Housing rub against radiator caused the radiator to burst while hot and again stranding myself and passenger on a mountain road due to over heating of the engine. The potential of burns to legs exists as when the radiator burst hot cooling solution was sprayed to legs. I was able to react fast enough not get soaked thus averted getting burned. I contacted harley davidson about both problems and was advised there is no recall notice for these issues nor was there warranty for repairs for either defect.
Fuel gauge does not read correctly. This is an ongoing problem with every model of the v-rod from the first model in 2002 until present. Harley knows about the problem and refuses to make a recall and fix the problem.
The fuel gauge on my 2002 harley davidson v-rod does not nor has it ever worked since 2004. Complaining to harley davidson does not seem to matter since the problem has not changed since 2002. Running out of gas in the desert of arizona is dangerous in itself, much less because of an inaccurate or non-functioning gas gauge........
