Owner report 10633705 · 2014-09-16 (September 16, 2014)

ALMOST AT EXACTLY 90 MILES, WHEN THERE IS STILL 1.5 GAL OF GAS IN THE CYCLE IT WILL STALL OUT LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE KILL SWITCH SO IT THROWS YOU FORWARD ON THE BIKE. THEN IT COMES BACK ON AND PRACTICALLY THROWS YOU OFF BACKWARDS. IT GETS WORSE AT THE 100 MILE MARK AS THE "STALL" WILL HAPPEN EVEN IN HIGHER GEARS AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN I THEN PUT GAS IN IT, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR THE NEXT 90 MILES. NOT SAFE AND INEXPERIENCED RIDERS COULD BE THROWN OFF THE BIKE. *TR

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

Steering	0	0	1 ODI 10733509 · 650 mi MOTORCYCLE LAGGED AND LEAPED ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE LOW ON FUEL - THIS PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE REMEDIED AFTER BRINGING IT UP WITH A DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP... HOWEVER THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE RETURNED. ACCELERATION SEEMS TO STUTTER THEN RETURN AT FULL FORCE IN A SPLIT SECOND, CAUSING LOSS OF TRACTION AND STEERING. CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS DRIVING IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. Look up ODI 10733509 at NHTSA ↗	0	0	0	0	—

THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET 750 HAS BRAKE FAILURES. THE FAILURES ARE SYSTEMIC TO THE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER CAUSING. I HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE THE LINKAGE BRAKE OFF BECAUSE OF NO THREAD LOCK BUT THE REAR BRAKE JUST SLIDES OVER THE ROTOR AND NEVER STOP THE BIKE ON IT OWN.

THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A RED LIGHT ON A 55 MPH ROAD. I WAS FIRST IN LINE IN MY LANE. I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I ROLLED MAYBE A FEW INCHES AND THE BIKE LOST ALL POWER, FOLLOWED BY AN IMMEDIATE SURGE OF POWER. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ALMOST THROWN FROM THE BIKE. IT FELT AS IF EVERY TIME THE FUEL SLOSHED BACK AND FORTH THE SURGE AND STALL WOULD HAPPEN.
