I've heard of them and seen a couple but that's about it. Generally though, I would say that it's likely a carb problem and running way too rich.

OK...the pictures have been restored.

I'll try to get them restored tomorrow.

I will NOT be buying one. To be honest, I should sell my 2008 Ultra Classic because I've found over the past couple of years that I'm just not riding as I once did. My Ultra Classic only has about 13,000 miles on it and is basically like new. 10 to 15 years ago though, I would be at the Indian dealership taking ownership of this new bike. I realize that it's not for everybody but I have always preferred the Road Glide over the Ultra Classic and would love to give this new Indian Pursuit a try. I bought the Ultra Classic simply because I got a fantastic deal and knew that I wasn't riding much. Expensive at almost $34,000 for the loaded model but from what I can see, I'm a fan. Rated at 120 HP and loaded with all the goodies. What do all of you think about it?

It could just be the tire. A lot of us here aren't crazy about the Bridgestones. It could be other things though. Have you checked the rear swing arm? If there is play in it, that could also cause the problem. That is all assuming that the head bearings are indeed tightened properly. Too loose OR too tight can cause issues such as you describe,

We certainly wanted to but it's not likely to happen. Eileen is going through some health issues at the moment. Primarily, severe back issues. We have been to many doctors numerous times and they can't seem to find what is causing the problem. She is getting another MRI this month and them have an appointment with another specialist on May 16th I think. There are a lot of days when she can't even get out of bed except to use the restroom.

I haven't heard anything about it but it wouldn't surprise me. I still believe that Yamaha went the wrong direction and the bike just hasn't been a huger seller. They just didn't listen to their core base of riders. Most, I think, wanted a variation of the water cooled Max engine to keep with the tradition of the V4 that the Venture has had from the beginning. Now don't get me wrong, I actually loved the new model. I bought one in, 2018 I think. I had absolutely no issues with it. It had tons of torque and handled like a dream. There was nothing about it that I didn't like. Ended up selling because I just didn't have time to ride. I kept if for a year and sold it with about 1500 miles on it if I remember.
