I work for a Harley Dealership as a tech. Within the last month Ive had 2 2007 touring bikes in for abnormal vibration in powertrain. The last one was just at the dealership 50 miles away where i used to work. The customer has been complaining about something making the bike vibrate more than usual since he purchased the bike new. The other dealership tells him that nothing is wrong and sends him on his way. Ive got history records on the bike and numerous rubber isolators have been changed, none helping the issue. I didnt even have to take the bike out of the parking lot and i could tell something was definetly wrong. Tore it down and .020" runout on the pinion shaft. The bike i replaced flywheels on a few weeks ago had .018" and the new S.E. replacement flywheels had .006" when i measured after assembling the cases. This one that is on the lift now, im going to try to talk the customer into sending the new flywheel out to be trued and welded. Why not? Its good insurance for the long run, and might as well do it now while apart. Would only cost cust whatever it costs to have it done. (im guessing 200.00) + his 50 dollar deductable from ESP (extented service plan).
Ive heard of a company called darkhorse that provides this service. Anyone else know of anyone.
Thanks JD
