A little perspective, I've got ~1800 stress-free great riding miles in less than two months. I've read others are having some issues with their bike and I Thank God my issue is clock doesn't know what time it is.
Anyways, I was hesitant to get PA since first run/gen but talking with buddy he said, "why not get one, hell look at me with my issues on BMW and they've been making them for damn near 40 years!" So I decided to get a PA for handful of reasons and buddy has Beemer so we can Adv ride and not be pigeon toed to asphalt/pavement.
He had bike a year or so and then his bike would (shut down) and only give him 5%throttle or ~2-3 mph!!! Yes it happens whenever/wherever it decided to fault out, one time he told me it happened on bypass going to work cruising at 65!
Also, where he bought it (1hr away) they quit selling bikes to focus on cars and there's not a lot dealers around here. He actually took it to three different dealers (all in different states) before one opened in Indy again and finally got the issue corrected. Not sure on timeframe but it wasn't within 6 months it was longer. Needless to say and I'll say he was very frustrated to keep this rated PG.
Just thought I'd put this out there so people aren't thinking HD and PA are having extraordinary problems. It happens even for BMW, so hopefully nothing major happens to you and the minors get iron out so we all can enjoy our new bikes!
I by no means trashing BMW, never owned one, buddy loves his and would consider buying one if HD didn't make PA, we actually have had three awesome rides together and hopefully many more in future with me on my PA!! Just saying grimlins get into everything.
