I am new to the forum but have been an active reader for several months. I recently bought a 2016 Highlifter 850 from a local dealership and have had quite the time since. It is currently at the dealership for repairs, with 4 hours on it. 40 miles and 3 mud holes (none of which were anything serious, and that’s what it’s built for, and I do not have a heavy thumb) in and it’s got a warped front axle and the rear cv joint is shredded because of the boot coming completely off the spindle. I was wondering if anyone else with this particular model has experienced these sort of issues or maybe I just got a bad run. The warped front axle I noticed when washing it the other day and when I called the service department at the dealership and asked what I should do, their response was if it’s not broken or making noise keep riding it. When I asked what could cause such a thing they said heavy impact or strapping it down to the trailer wrong. A. the axle nor the tye rod or either A-arm had a mark on it and B. I use the D ring on the front (their is someone out that at sometime has used the axle to tie their rig down, but not I:biglaugh:) Then as I was pulling it off the trailer the other day after a couple of hours of riding last night I noticed it felt like it was only pulling on one wheel, looked under it and whalla, the cv boot was completely off (not torn) on the bottom and the upon closer inspection the cv joint was mangled. Any ideas?
