Is the moco doing anything to correct these issues on the newer bikes coming out of the factory?

Not sure the Dali Lama has the answer to that one.   spyder

Mine has the seat issue haven't notified the dealer yet, The dealer cautioned me at delivery about possible air in the clutch but 500 miles so far it hasn't developed any issues.

I am having an issue with the throttle not returning to idle when released usually when riding around 2800 rpm. Acts like cruise on but it isn't a manual return is necessary to get deceleration.
Other than that
SWEEEET

Susan (WasJons) is having that problem on her 2010 regular Street Glide.

Well, I just turned 1500 on my 2010 SESG and the stock seat has pulled away from the tank.  It actually can be popped off the ancoring tongue with a slight lift from the side.  As with all others, this really pis--- me off.  I haven't had a chance to speak with my dealer but you can bet I will soon.  I let you all know what the response is to the problem.

I liked the simplicity that one member received from his dealer......repositioning rear hold down bracket outward from the seat. I am wondering if there isn't a front tab that is longer on earlier or different models that will fix this issue permanently as well.

Almost all seats I have ever had or seen have a metal tongue as part of the pan and it slides into a slot that is part of the frame to secure the front.  The seat on this SESG has a tongue of metal coming from the rear area of the tank that slips into a slot in the pan.  Absurd arragement.  Very flimsy.  I am really burned up about this given that I laid out 35K for this bike.

Right after I stop laughing, I'll throw out my 2 cents on the subject.



Ok, I think I've got it under control now.  Let's take the clutch issue first.  CVO's have been having the air in the system problem since the MoCo first started installing the hydraulic clutches  over 6 years ago.  So obviously the answer to your question as it applies to the clutch issues is NO.  Then we take the seat issue.  This issue is a carryover from the problems they had on the 2009 SERG seats, so once again I would have to say the answer to your question, at least so far, is NO.  If they had taken the issue seriously on the SERG, you really shouldn't be seeing it on the SESG.  As we are fond of saying around here, this ain't rocket science, H-D just finds ways to make it seem like it is.

Yea, like the same way they wont replace my fuel pump that keeps stranding me cause after it resets, then it works fine!

Was walking through a nearby HD dealership with a T-shirt that I'd bought for a buddy when I saw it...a brand new 2010 CVO Street Glide with a tequila sunrise paint job...it was love at first sight!!!  I had to have that bike.  A couple of days and many dollars later, it was mine!  I live in MN and the riding season is coming to an end although it's been sunny and in the low 50s for the last week.  I took the bike out for a 100 mile ride and loved every minute of it!  Absolutely amazing, absolutely beautiful!  Toward the end of the ride I was stopped at a stoplight waiting for the green and noticed a strange "clacking" sound that seemed to be coming from the left hand side of the engine, down near the front, behind the primary maybe.  A tech listened to it and thought it might have been a problem with the self adjusting primary chain tensioner.  After taking a look at it, the tech decided the tensioner was working fine and told me that he would call HD.  HD told him that they are aware of the noise that quite a few of the 110 Screaming Eagles are making and that they don't quite know what it is yet.  I read this thread, and saw a couple references to the "clacking" noise.  Sure would appreciate feedback from others that are noticing the noise...what is it...what can be done about it...what's the deal?

I have the same bike turned 900 miles today no clacking noise. You would hope they would give you a better answer than that? I hope it turns out to be something simple!

My 09 flhtcuse4 has it...sounds awful, especially when cold...the primary fluid smelled funny when I changed it too...7k miles and I guess I'll wait til it breaks cause the dealer just shrugged..

Stopped into Hoosier HD today talked to the service rep about the throttle sticking. They brought it straight into the shop and in 5 minutes I had it back.

Just needed to be properly adjusted. Great service!

This is not my selling dealer BTW

Still waiting for an answer on the stock seat from Harley through the selling dealer.

Got the seat problem and reported it to the dealer on day 2 

[CVOTequila]

Myko-

Have you heard anything different?

Sucks but expected I am sure they are made to the wrong spec. You'd think since the SERG has had it for 2 years now that the braniacs would figure out it needs to be longer???

[CVOTequila]

yeah you would think
