| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ref: my 2004 american ironhorse texas chopper w/ 111 s&s engine i am writing you to inform you of a presistent problem that i am experiencing with my "high dollar" factory produced motorcycle. the bike is constantly stalling at low rpm's and at prolonged red light signals. the bike will cut off with no anticipated sign, but will start right back up once the start button is pushed. this will happen several times during a 200-300 mile ride! i have to "flutter" the throttle to keep it from stalling and from it shutting off on me. i believe that this is a nationwide problem with this year, make, and model of motorcycle. i had recently come across another rider who is experiencing the same type of safety-related issue. the internet site is... http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/enthusiasts/question_list.asp?veh=7800&quest=12411 he states "my 2004 texas chopper stalls constantly - twenty times on a 23 mile ride back to the dealer. the dealer changed the puck and ignitor but that didn't help - the new parts were also defective - it still kept stalling when the mechanic test rode it. apparently this has happened on another 2004 texas chopper as well. does anyone else have this problem and if so what did you have done to fix it?" dave - 03/30/2004 can you please look into this for me. i truly believe that this is a safety matter in terms of getting rearended at "stop to start" intersections and/or the bike shutting off while in transit in 1st or 2nd gear causing a personal injury collision. thank you for your time and professional consideration in this matter...chad |
