That's all I can stand can't stand no more...

Never heard or saw all these problems with any Rocket Why does one bike have all these problems ?
 
I fully expected that once we bought the Rocket the maintenance would be up to me. If we have a issue that is covered by the two year warranty I will take it in to one of the two shops here in Oklahoma. Not crazy about the idea of doing that at all. Hopefully we never have to cross that bridge. So far at 10,000 miles we have not had any problems at all. Maybe mine was put together on a wednesday? Yes I feel for you, been through it all with harley davidson. Friends of mine have had major issues with the two harley dealerships in tulsa. Even the major Honda dealership in this area is not without issues. The triumph dealership in this area has been around for a while but I would not trust them even on a tire change much less a major problem. They talk the talk but can not walk the walk. It is sad that we spend so much money for are bikes to only be left out in the cold when it comes to mechanical problems. It is not right but seems to be the way of the world. No matter what your ride dealerships are dealerships.
 
That's really strange. Even if the line was disconnected it would not cause lock-up. A pinched brake line could cause the brakes to drag, possibly a sloppy lifting technique. Or it may be coincidence and you could have a problem with the master cylinder or caliper. Just realized yours has ABS. mine doesn't so I don't know what ABS system it has but what ever is between the master cylinder and the caliper could also be the culprit. I am assuming some inspections have already been performed: binding brake pedal/linkage, pads properly positioned, master cylinder not overfilled etc. Good luck
 
I feel like I just saw this picture!
 

Hey Jim, just between you and me, I think I would have taken the "drag chute" off before sending it in for warranty work
 

Hadn't even thought about the ABS
 
I've had a bad flexible brake line that was damaged internally and would act as a check valve and retain pressure in the brake caliper. When it got hot the brake fluid would expand and lock up on the rotor. My $.02 worth. Jim, did you open the caliper bleeder when it was hot?
 
Moisture in the brake line? Expanding when hot???
