Re: 2009-FLHR: loud clunk during start up

Obviously we are not alone wich "our" Touring - clunks.

Hi again and thank you for the replies.

Also in other harley forums people complain about this problem. Several dealers (in Germany) told me that the noise is normal and therefore they refuse to help.

Do you guys in USA have an idea, how to obtain an official position of the company ?

The 2010 models were announced in these days. Will these models still have the clunking problem or did the company improve something. If yes, this could be an argument for dealers to improve our models.

Moreover: why not address this problem to a magazine ? Any ideas ?

Cheers,
JoeSchmack

Re: 2009-FLHR: loud clunk during start up

I have a 2009 Ultra, very faint single clunk when you start it cold then that's it. 7,000 KM's on it, a lot of two up, towing trailer and have never had it make a clunk sound starting off from a stop or any other time. I would have to agree with Glider, either a defective or lose compensator, definitely not normal. A few friends with 08's & 09's and never heard anyone complain about it and they would.
