CLUTCH FAILED TO DISENGAGE. AFTER 1/2 HOUR COOL DOWN IT WORKED NORMALLY . THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER RIDING 100 MILES , COOLED DOWN THEN HAPPENED AFTER 40 MILES COOL DOWN THEN NORMAL FOR 30 MILES. INABILITY TO DOWNSHIFT ON MOTORCYCLE IS DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC SAID THE FLUID WAS NORMAL LEVEL BUT HAD OVERHEATED AND COULDN'T MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE NEEDED TO OPERATE A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. I APPROACHED BIG ST CHARLES HARLEY DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THAT ONLY 2017/2018 MODELS WERE ON THE RECALL LIST. I KNOW MY TRIKE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED BUT HOW DO I PROCEED? THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR SLOWING TO EXIT HIGHWAY

AFTER PAYING OVER $400 TO GET THE PIPES REBUILT BY HARLEY TO TAKE CARE OF THE HEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOTOR I LEFT FOR TEXAS FROM OHIO (I'M 72 YEARS OLD).. THE MOTOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS SO HOT I HAD TO BUY A SCARF TO WET AND PUT ON THE INSIDE OF MY PANTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE TO KEEP MY LEG FROM BURNING... HAS HARLEY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT PROBLEM.. AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THERE PROBLEM.. ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW COMPLAINS ABOUT THAT HEAT PROBLEM.. I LOVE MY TRIKE AND IT RIDES SO NICE.. WE BOUGHT IT NEW.. IT'S THE TAN AND BROWN ONE.. HOWEVER THIS NEXT WEEKEND IS THE BIG MOTORCYCLE SHOW IN CLEVELAND OHIO AND WE ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER MAKER OF MOTORCYCLES... I WOULD LOVE TO STAY WITH HARLEY BUT WOULD RATHER HAVE A TRIKE THAT I CAN RIDE WITHOUT HAVING TO CARRY WATER TO KEEP MY RIGHT LEG WET BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME HEAT. *TR
