Read it and be impressed...............

I have 8500 on my 04 Rkc - No real problems but the bike has pulled to the left since day one.   Just had it in the shop last week for the same problem and after the tech worked on it for 4-5 hrs (supposedly) everything checked out fine the only thing he could do to improve it was the adjust the fall away in the steering head?  I'm not sure what this means but it made it track a lot better than it did before.  It still pulls to the left but not as bad.  Besides that no other problems besides the occasional high speed wobble - I haven't decided on the ridest8 or the true track as of yet.  How does everybody like their ridestr8 that was involved in the group purchase?

I have 26k on my 03 SE RK. Had 35k on my 00 SE RG . No problems on either Only bitch about either is the crappy paint work on the saddlebags . Fenders, gas tank, side panels and tour paks are fine, but wheel side of saddlebags is terrible.

8500 miles of pulling to the left ? Still bad after a preload check and adjustment. You need to go to a different dealer and explain your problem to their service advisor. The amount of preload on your neck bearings is one of the most critical items involved in the chassis set-up of your bike. Too much and you can't get a bike to track a corner, too little and it drifts all over the road Get this fixed or you're going down hard my friend

   I have a tru track I love it, Read Oct 05 Cycle World  page 68

I had to dig for this thread, cause I knew that I had recorded services.

Need to watch your air pressure more close you may be able to squeeze a few more miles out of your rear tire at least 8 to 10K insead of 6K.

Just have to chime in hear [smiley=banana.gif].  Sue and I have put 30,000 km (about 23,000 miles) on our 2006 FLHTCUSE since April!  What a great bike!  I also have to give a plug here for Freedom Cycles in Reno for doing some great work on my engine.  Not a single problem with anything on the bike except that I am on my third set of tires!  Having a great time so far.

[JCZ]

I to have a little over 24k and I usually get about 10k on the rear tire.

11k+ on original rear tire, still had 2/32" or better tread when changed.  Best tire mileage I've ever gotten on the rear.
