2022 Tri Glide Ultra

[jimhd89]

Hello Everyone. Last month my wife and I brought home our new 2022 Tri Glide Grey and Black We had a 2016 Tri Glide. Great bike. Yesterday I took it out for the first time,made it 3 miles up the road.Stopped at light in first gear. It got stuck in first would not shift to second gear. heard a couple bang sounds and aloud clicking noise. got over to shoulder safe. tried all i know to get out of first no luck Called dealer he came out. After 15 minutes he finally got it to shift but still was noisy. They loaded in trailer and took to dealer. Has anyone had this happen on new trike? It only has 12 miles on it. Thanks in advance. jimhd89.

Sorry to hear of your problem, Jim. FWIW, my 2021 Tri Glide at times clunks hard into second gear… only second. Most times smooth like any other gear. And at times tricky to find neutral.

I’m approaching 1000 miles after picking it up last month.

I’ll be curious as to what the dealer finds.

Best of luck.

Jim....Haven't heard that before, But things happen ' Hopefully the dealer will get you fixed and back on the road shortly ...When they do find the problem let us know..

sounds like a shifting fork alignment issue, or it came loose. Good Luck hopefully they get it fixed quickly for you.

Man, sorry to hear that - especially with just 12miles on it. My 2021 shifts as smoot as can be - even better than my 2014 did.

Let us know what you find out.

2022 Tri Glide

Hello everyone. Got my trike back today. Dealer said the clutch needed to be adjusted. Seems to be working now. I’ll ride this weekend and see how it goes. Oh ya when the service guy was bringing it out. He misjudged the rear fenders and another bike. Now the edge of my fender needs to be touched up wheel well. So it will be going back. Thanks Ride safe.

I got a new 2022 Tri (black and grey). I have trouble shifting out of first. I bought a heel shifter to help. My guy is telling me that it is in “break-in”, so it will get better. If not, it will be going back to him to adjust.

Tell him to adjust the clutch

It makes a huge difference, adjust the cable and the clutch basket

They are never set right from the factory

I have a 2019…With the heel shifter and down shift only with the toe/foot shifter And only Up-Shift with the heel…Been doing it that way with all my Tri-Glides (2011/2017)..Me’ I find it shift’s with out a problem and also my boot doesn’t get the black mark from the toe shifter..

On a new trike they would need to replace the fender to make it new again for me. They have insurance for that very reason.

Ive been in this Harley game for 55 years and Ive never heard of having to "break in" a shifter. Where do they find these employees? Pardon me now...I must go break in my blinkers.Pray for me.

Be sure to put in new blinker fluid after the break in.

New fender needs to be installed. New bike..., Hope you get it all taken care of. Maybe see you up that way one day. Our son & family live on Neffs Laurys rd & we ride up there a couple times a year.
