07 street glide issues

I ride an 07 street glide. Has any one else but me had starter kickback problems. I was told that year model had some issues with starter kickback. Can't get dealer to tell me much.

I've also experienced the 07 wobble. Any thought how to get rid of the wobble and starter kickback problems?

Original battery??Check connections and grounds,load test the battery...simple stuff first...

Haven't had bagger wobble yet....there's stabilizer kits out,but first I'd check front motor mount and swing arm bushings...check the torque on the lock nut....
Do you have the Service Manual??

Well let me explain in a little more detail. Bought bike new in October of 06. First trip was to bad lands down in south texas and notice wobble then. I have been told on several occasions by HD that it had to do with frame design. So long story short its had a wobble since day 1. Bike only wobblers taking corner at higher speeds. I will check steering head and other mention service related advise.

As far as starter kickback. That is intermittent. One of those thing that causes me to cringe every time I start my bike. I have always kept battery on a tender. I have installed new battery. Even with new battery it has done it. I probably should have the the load test done. Starter kickback has also been a long on going challenge as well. Installed new starter ring clutch basket at about 20,000. Bike only has 38,800 on it. Once again HD has told me that the 07's have had reputation for that but don't offer any solution.
Charging system???

Maybe Harley cheaped out on the star washer that year.Give it a once over ...make sure everything's clean and tight...

check your triple tree torque, the steering neck as hrk said could be some what loose, and I seen bad front tire mentioned some good things to check, also toss it on your jack and check the bearings and the spokes if you have them. as for the kick back is there any compession upgrades? does it happen all the time or once in a while? Does the bendix struggle when it engages?

No compression upgrade. All stock. It does not happen all the time only once in a while. Bendix doesn't seem to struggle. Some have thought it was timing. Its as if you put your key in your car and as you crank it over your hand slipped as it was trying to start. Some time seem like the motor has to make a revolution before starting. I don't get that quick start like I hear most other bikes start. Every time I've had the dealer try to look at it it won't do it. I sit there and start it 10 times in front of them and it won't happen. I finally had to start recording it until it did it. now I have proof. I let a small shop listen to my recording and he said in 07 they(HD) had issues with starter and recommended I install a higher out put starter.

when you shut the bike down do you ever hear a clack clack noise right before the motor stops rotating? if so your comp sprocket needs to be upgraded . seems lots of riders get kick back from the starter do to slop in the comp sprocket . starter seems to spin and then the comp sprocket loads the starter all at once . don't know if the 07 have the new style comp sprocket .if so replace the compensating sprocket to the se unit . also once the starter clutch kicks back a few times they are toast . replace the stock sarter clutch with a all balls starter clutch . we have abused that starter clutch last week end with a 124 . ci motor with 220 ccp and it held up so far . we tried 4 stock Harley starter cluches and they all **** the bed .

I put a S.E, Compensator on my '09 for that kickback problem,helped quite a bit,then a new battery..Kickback gone.

Interesting! Seems like I remember someone mentioning that long ago. I really don't feel like its any type of electrical problem. I intend on still checking all electrical but am doughtful. What did compensator run $$?? I did install a new All Balls starter a couple of weeks ago but have not been able to put it through but a couple of day of riding. Definitely starts and sounds different. Starter sound strong! I had the compensator out about two years ago and it looked fine but don't know if a person can really tell by looking at it.

So what exactly is the compensator for and what does it do. What's it's job????

I think the comp is 250 bucks . some boys on the forum got a better deal from . a dealer via the internet store . I think gr Harley , that all balls starter in a nice !

The compensating sprocket buffers torque from trany to crank shaft , its also attached to the primary chain clutch basket and back to the crank . so it buffers the jolt to the crank during lugging and hard takes offs as well or jerk throttle riding . the early model compensating sprockets are great but you cant run them on late model motors . the later model comps have lots of wear problems. soft castings . lots of guys blame it on lack of lube and what not . but it just bull shat its a ****ty part plain and simple. cheap china crap!

So do you think I should put one in for the hell of it and hope it all goes away. I just want to feel confident again. The kickback is embarrassing. I totally agree with the whole china crap. Not sure what American made means anymore. Parts are all from china only assembled here.

Why is a new rotor part of the kitJust to drive the price up??

Don't think I will need to buy a rotor.
