I bought 2019 Heritage over a month ago.Buying transactions went smoothly and that was pretty much the end of the smoothness.
I was charged a preparation fee and the bike wasn't prepared at all.After 15 miles ride home and parking it I smelled strong gasoline odor in my garage, I called them explained a problem,missing fuel line part.I drove back to the dealership,they gave me the part,I installed it and it fixed that problem.Few days later I checked engine oil level,guess what?too much. I called them again.I brought the bike back.They confirmed,too much,instead of riding it and enjoying my new bike,my time off and great weather I spent couple hrs at the dealership because of somebody's negligence and carelessness.The bike was returned to me with oil stains and scratched primary cover. I don't ask anybody to baby my bike however it beats me why some individuals treat someone's property that way.I had a conversation about it with a manager and I was informed that engine is painted black and it's very easy to scratch,I guess I shouldn't have bought black engine.Certified HD technicians from Bedford simply don't know how to handle black painted engines.
400 miles and a month later, the engine makes loud ticking noises,called them again,explained a problem.I rode to the dealership again to diagnose a malfunction.They concurred.I was informed that engine needs to be taken apart!just 400 miles!!!
The bike was returned to me after a test ride again with OIL STAINS on it,second time!
I informed the manager that I don't like that idea of taking my brand new bike apart because I will never get it back in the same condition and Bedford HD service department has a very hard time with simple tasks based on my previous experiences and observations and whether we can find a different solutions.They agree to take defective bike back as long as I buy more expensive one.I don t want to find myself in a vicious cycle senselessly dumping money.They advised me that I can take it somewhere else to do my warranty work,no dignity and integrity to stay behind their product.
Bad and unimpressive overall experience,I bought an oil filter,I was overcharged for different one,I bought oil,I was charged and overcharged for something else,again.
I'm almost 50 years old man and I have ridden over 130000 miles in US,Canada and Europe.I have owned many different motorcycle,this is my first Harley.
