Hydraulic Clutch Failure
HighA chemical reaction in the DOT 4 fluid could generate gas bubbles, preventing the clutch from disengaging after being parked.
Saddlebag Separation

Used Buying Inspection Checklist
What to look for when buying a used 2015 Harley-Davidson FLTRXS Road Glide Special.
Hydraulic Clutch Recall
Check if the master cylinder rebuild/flush (Recall 0165) was performed. A failing system causes the clutch to not disengage fully, making it hard to find neutral.
Saddlebag Retention
Verify the saddlebag mounting clips are the updated stainless steel version (Recall 15V-427) to prevent bags from falling off mid-ride.
Infotainment Screen
Check for 'ghosting' or unresponsive touch areas on the 6.5GT screen, which can be expensive to replace.
