I would also advise any US owners that have experienced the lag and leap problem to report it to the NHTSA. They only have a very limited number of reported cases and they depend upon input from the public in determining the extent of the problem.As of April 20th, the NHTSA looks to have opened an investigation into the "Lag and Leap" issue so many of us have been dealing with.
Details here! (You'll need to click on the "Investigations" tab)
Hope this leads to something positive for us owners.
agreed, I think soSo glad to see this. Finally.
ride safe everyone
I dont understand the logic behind this.if your'e bike lags or stalls, check to see if ur tank is venting.
there is a little rubber plug just under the gas cap. if the hole in the plug is closed, the tank won't vent, allowing pressure to build up staving the pump of gas.

If you're referring to a recall about the lag and leap, it's because there is no recall yet. Click the link in the original post, the NHTSA has opened an investigation. This, in turn, could potentially lead to a recall in the future. It depends on their findings.Harley dealer just informed me this recall was non-existent and that it is for a rear reflector on the bike. They also made it sound like at the end of the day they don't really care.
Our tank vent was installed backwards, causing vapor lock in the tank and unpredictable power surges.if your'e bike lags or stalls, check to see if ur tank is venting.

You are looking only under the 750 model. Two crashes under the 500. Ours was one of them.I noticed on there that there were 0 crashes reported. Can whoever dropped their bike report it as a crash?
I'm going to take a look at mine on my lunch break in a couple hours! I've gone through one tank of gas so far. The low fuel light came on with about 90 miles on the odometer. I figured I should have gotten WAY farther but maybe the dealer didn't fill it all the way. It was lurching when I drove into the station and when I took the cap off, there clearly was pressure and I heard the air rushing out.if your'e bike lags or stalls, check to see if ur tank is venting.
