Incident: June 18, 2013 · Filed: June 19, 2013

AT 70 MPH ON MY 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON FLHX THE COMPENSATOR BROKE APART. I COULD HEAR SOME NOISE ON THE LEFT SIDE WHERE THE PRIMARY COVER IS. AFTER STOPPING AND THEN STARTING THE MOTOR BACK UP, WHEN I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN GEAR THE PRIMARY LOCKED UP AND FROZE EVERYTHING UP. IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. IF YOU LOOK AT FORUMS, THIS SEAMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE NEWER HARLEY'S WITH THE 96" MOTOR. WITH MINE BRAKING THE WAY IT DID, IT MESSED UP THE TRANSMISSION SHAFT AS WELL AS THE MAIN ENGINE SHAFT RESULTING IN A (ESTIMATED) $6000 REPAIR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. HARLEY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. *TR
