WHILE RUNNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I DOWN SHIFT OR COME TO A STOP THE MOTOR SHUTS DOWN. THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS THAT HAPPENS I'VE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT IT NO PERSON CAN FIND OUT WHY. I'M IN DANGER EVERY TIME. I'VE BEEN HOLDING UP TRAFFIC IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES, STOP LIGHTS & CITY TRAFFIC . I'VE OWNED THIS BIKE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING I CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I'VE PAID MANY SHOPS TO FIND OUT WHY. LOCAL HARLEY DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE GAVE ME BACK THE BIKE & SAID GOOD LUCK.,

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2004 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCA DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN ITS FILLED UP THE NEEDLE DISAPEARS PAST THE FULL MARK AND WHEN ITS CLOSE TO EMPTY IT MIGHT BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3/4 TANK AND 1/4 TANK.
