ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES WERE BUILT WITH A CONDITION THAT PERMITS THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO CONTACT A WELD BEAD ON THE OIL TANK. THIS MAY CAUSE THE WELD BEAD TO ABRADE THROUGH THE INSULATION ON THE CABLE AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT FROM THE BATTERY THROUGH THE OIL TANK AND OIL LINES.
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.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, MY WIFE WENT TO ADJUST THE SIDE MIRROR AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. INITIAL ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE BIKE HAD NO RESPONSE, BUT AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS THE BIKE STARTED. THE RIDE COMPLETED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE BIKE THE FOLLOWING DAY THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE BIKE WAS TRAILERED TO A LOCAL HD DEALER, AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE BEFORE REPLACING THE SWITCH WHICH SHOWS THE LIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE SWITCH WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUTOFF. THE SWITCH MUST HAVE BEEN BRUSHED BY MY WIFE'S JACKET WHEN ADJUSTING THE MIRRORS AT THE STOP SIGN. *TR
