7 Hidden Features Of The 2024 Road Glide

[@About_that_ride]

That adjusting the clutch thing saved me! I thought i had to park my mew RG until something was made for it. My husband stumbled upon that solution just poking around the bike and bam! It was fixed. Called numerous dealers, technicians and aftermarket companies explaining my problem and “no one knew” how to help me. Instead they wanted to sell me services and products that would eventually come out in the market. No one told me it was just that clip. I’m still so ticked off at that gate keeping. So thank you for saying that!

[@johnshelby7973]

Thanks a lot for the heated gear tip. I just picked up a 24 yesterday. Installing the heated gear plug was a little time consuming on my Low Rider ST. For those that don't use heated gear its awesome. With a mesh jacket and heated gear I never get cold.

[@gerrymiller7401]

Couple little hacks not mentioned. 1. Adding a $10 USB Bluetooth mic from Amazon and adding it in the device manager will give you wireless Apple Car Play every time you start your bike. 2. If you add the garage door opener, two quick pulls on the left side controls trigger will transmit the opener without having to go through the menu every time.

[@LimpShrimp202]

Link for a bluetooth mic you recommend?

[@bassops1373]

Sorry, if the dealer delivers your bike and they didn’t put it in transport mode, that is their fault. Don’t make apologies for them not knowing their jobs.

[@bikermikeyb]

2024 CVO Street Glide here. After you've set up your garage openers, flashing your high beams will activate your "first" garage door opener. So, don't flash your high beams in your driveway on the way out for a dinner ride! 😆

[@getjacked1]

Will this work for non cvo’s?

You are amazing! I work at Stars and Stripes Harley-Davidson in Langhorne, PA yes, we are still learning everything too. It is hard for me too! Thank-you for your info!

[@peelout]

Great info, thanks. My new RG just arrived at the dealership and I'll pick it up this weekend.

[@DiscreteViewer]

Another hidden feature H-D doesn’t mention in the manual is the ability to activate the cooling system fans on-demand. This is accomplished with the engine not running and roll to full throttle for a few seconds. So if riders are in stop and go traffic, they can stop the engine momentarily and activate the cooling system fans constant-on and help keep the heads cooler.

[@donschultz3207]

you forgot; the gear selection now shows up when you are stopped. it used to be with the clutch disengaged it didn't until you released the clutch. If you look on the trans side cover there is a plastic cover just on top that is what that cover is.

[@dcw0426]

I noticed this today on my 2023 cvo… love seeing gear while clutch is engaged

[@jeffhennings6579]

I have a 2020 ultra limited never had to use the transfer mode but damn don’t understand why they have it set up like this it’s crazy no reason for it

The only reason I'd ever want or need a hill hold for the brakes is if it was a jockey shift, rear brake only chopper. People need to learn to ride, not have excuses not to. LOL

[@philburge563]

I, like most others, have mastered holding the front brake then releasing and accelerating simultaneously.

FBI offers a highly recommended clutch adjuster upgrade. Replaces the stock plastic provided and allows easy personal adjustments. Also

Good job on the presentation and production.

[@cwallybraap]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@alejandraguillen950]

If you or the dealership you’re getting a bike from don’t know how to put the bike in transport mode, you can either: put the keys in the saddlebags to keep it from going off or disconnect the battery.

[@alvingallegos6367]

Got a HD NO 1 Helmet and it works just fine with the 24 FLTRX CarPlay. On my last bike the GTS noise cancelled when taking a call so not sure why you said you needed to cycle through it.

[@dominiquenameche5318]

thanks for the tips on this new 2024 bike, do you know when you have an android phone the tips to get your GPS phone connect to the bike, as actually only an apple phone can work ? will be nice if you can let me know

[@English_MoFo]

I love the big ass bright lights on that front farring

[@marccunningham6353]

Totally agree!!

[@WadeJohnson-g3o]

You should talk more about the rear suspension options. Dealers do not pre set your bike suspension to your size. Most bikes go out with softest settings and can bottom out. Even a seasoned tech does not usually set suspension. They set mine at max and the Unloaded rear, push down into my brand new exhaust so I had to re set all and find the happy spot. Harley adjustment chart is way off of what is really needed.

[@feellnfroggy]

I work for warhorse in Ocala, I’m just learning a lot of these.

[@mickeygaines007]

As far as the clutch, Harley said it is pretty much as far in as it can possibly be so any adjustability there won’t really be an advantage.

[@DE-gb3wq]

Be cool if they can make it so when you get home late after a good time and park the bike then the next day you turn it on and it’s not level 10 loud static😂🍻

[@kalanwashington9158]

What color 2024 CVO you feel looks the best and will have to best long term highest value overall? Copperhead or Legendary Orange?

[@jarthur1369]

I actually live near Orlando. am just scared. last time I tried to buy a new Harley closer to me, they were like ok so line 3 there is your bike at msrp, then of Course delivery fee of $1,000, dealer fee of $1,000, setup fee of $1,000, doc fee of $500, shop disposal fee of $500.... plus tax and tag, which brings your total to......

[@physiciansassist1]

Not sure if I want to trade my 2022. I have no complaints

[@KenClark-d2g]

Do the media compartments auto lock when you have fob and walk away. Manual does not say, or I could not find.

[@michaeloud6044]

Just user warning, the stock speakers are garbage 😂. Rides amazing though.

[@xphire]

Probably the only 2 garbage things about it; stock speakers and stock windshield.

[@doggie1luv]

I think these batteries on the 23.5 cvo-24 cvo are too weak, they drain super fast for some reason.

[@scotta6610]

Hill hold control. It’s there by default right? Dealer told me Harley was putting out some type of kickstand sensor before it works?

[@Roll_with_R.C.]

Nothing simple about adjusting that rear suspension. “Hang on babe… lemme take this bag off, hand me that wrench…”. Big step forward in a lot of things, just a big missed opportunity on that.

[@martyneilan8947]

Still beats adjusting the old Softail twin shocks under the bike.

[@4evervigilant8]

I know you mentioned “after market” adjustable levers. The CVO has duel adjustable levers and those do work on the 2024 Glides (Non-CVOs)

do you think if coming from a 21 ultra with stage 2 worth getting the new 24 road glide and build it up little by little. was going to go today adn see what they offer. i do still owe 25 on my bike so i know going ot new ill be in the 32-30 range.

[@dealer197]

I would like to see a video on the weight change, front suspension and any other ride characteristics. I am sensitive to center of gravity and ride height.

[@quiettime6871]

I can tell you the 24 RG feels quite a bit lighter than my 19 RG taking it off the stand. The bars are also a lot more comfortable and both these give the bike a lot more nimble feel. I dont really like the buttons but I guess I will get used to them

[@hcamardelle]

So you don't need the Harley branded Cardo in order for it to work? Awesome! I pick up my Burst Blue RG on Tuesday@

[@billanderson2763]

Good to know, I just bought a 24, 4 days ago and was told at the dealer it only works with the harley branded cardo. Available at the dealer for a mark up, of course.

[@lucianospalliera1131]

Have to say as a fanboy of the Indian Challenger, i am suprised that the Road Glide and Street Glide supposedly can not connect Android phones but funnily enough Indian Challenger can, Also my entry level Triumph Trident 660 can connect my Android Phone. Is this Harley playing games with Android and looking after the American Branded i phone

[@xphire]

Google has decided that Harley bikes (and most others) do not meet their minimum safety requirements, therefore Google is not granting licenses or permissions for them to add Android Auto support.

[@jeffhennings6579]

Love the new screen sweet

[@mickc4633]

So that’s really not anything different maybe different buttons but they all do the same thing. We had transport mode for a long time.

[@KodakMostHated]

The heated gear plugs are almost useless because they are too short. I’m currently looking for an updated option.

[@anotherbrickinthewall1700]

The dealer should know about "transport mode" - no excuses. That illustrates the lack of training/detail within the dealership.

[@jonthepiercerman]

I noticed that you have a Ruroc helmet. Do you have the shockwave system in it? (The Bluetooth headset that ruroc sells) and if so do you know if that headset will connect and make apple car play usable in the bike?

[@HegshotRides]

Yes it has the Bluetooth integrated but I ripped it out and replaced it with a better system which is the Cardo. I left the link to Cardo in the description up above.

[@dcw0426]

My 2023 fast johnnie had hill assist but it disengaged if I put it in neutral. I recently traded for 2023 cvo and noticed today that hill assist stays engaged when I put it in neutral.

[@Harley.Davidson]

[@doggie1luv]

Accessory mode been around since the 2019 bikes can do it on them too, the same way.

[@paulbadenhop2865]

Wait… your suggesting we buy from that dealer if we’re shopping for a bike BUT THEN you say that dealer doesn’t even know how to get a bike in transport mode? Ya. I’ll skip that dealer.

Just came off a 23 Voyager to a 24 RG. It is clear as day too me how many light years ahead Harley is in every measurable category. This bike is killer

[@ejdtm]

No excuse. You have every right to blame them. They should know it.

[@mikez1975]

where is the mute button on the 2024 road glide? you never actually said where it is and the only way i see is to turn volume all the way down

[@lancew007]

If u hold the throttle all the way back and hold. the fan will kick on as well. To shut it off do the same

Do you know if CVO ST has heated gear harness as well.

[@HegshotRides]

No heated grips but I'm 90% sure it has the connections

[@lukebrothers8695]

The apple car play having to be used with Cardo is the dumbest shit ever. Harley messed up there

[@dranik84]

I just got the street glide. There is no android auto 😢. Harley Davidson won't support it.

[@Peg228NZ]

Other way around... Android auto no longer supports motorcycle installations, not from ANY brand.

[@xphire]

Partially true. Google has a list of "minimum safety requirements" that a vehicle must meet before they'll grant a license for the manufacturer to add Android Auto support. Somehow Indian has met Google's vehicle safety requirements and have been granted approval for Android Auto, but Harley and virtually every other motorcycle manufacturer has not made Google's cut. I don't know which safety requirements aren't being met or what Harley would need to change about their bikes to gain Google's approval, but still.

[@herrderfinsterins104]

Can't you just use the adjustable brake handle as a clutch handle?

[@lukeupdike]

does your stereo suck too?

[@Dandre01]

I was surprised how quickly my battery drained with the bike sitting in my garage. It was only a few days and I went to start it and it was dead. Looks like I’ll need a tender on it all the time. Or, something is drawing on the battery all the time.

[@xphire]

If the battery was at full charge before parking it, I'd definitely take it to the dealership for warranty inspection/service. Although I've only had my 24 RG for a couple weeks, it did sit unattended in my garage for several days (against my will) and it fired up no problem. Well, that's a lie, I grabbed the wrong key fob (for my truck) once and thought the battery died. I hooked up a charger only to see it had full charge which is when I realized I'm an idiot.

[@lifeliners1]

how to turn on the accessory mode is new

[@DamianDrury-k1r]

So how does the mute work bc I just bought a 2024 Saturday and the radio was working on the test ride. I think the dealer may have muted it and have no sound now can you make a video on the mute?

[@ashleyvereyken]

I think he is using the play/pause button (in middle on right handlebar) in the video which only would work if you're using Bluetooth. Try using the up volume or change stations. May have to turn off of Bluetooth if they had it connected to their phone.

[@albowler9454]

I had the same issue. Upon delivery of my bike the radio/stereo no longer worked. Dealer came back and picked up my bike (too much winter here to ride), apparently a wire came off the amplifier and there was no sound coming through. Dealer technician contacted corporate to report the issue to determine if there was something further to be done. Apparently, on top of this there was a second update to the OS that needs to be performed. The glory of buying a new model!

[@qualuedtke]

On my 24 the mute only pauses when using media source. On radio (fm) it doesn't mute.

[@MichaelMursick]

How does the PTT work?

[@heathwest3718]

Volume down all the way is the same as mute. Cheap looking plastics. The saddlebags arent as sturdy as previous generations either. They need to sell new bikes so im sure they are grateful for your purchase. Victory way back when had inverted forks but Harley still dont want that. Hydraulic clutch is much less low maintenance. The new horn is tacky also. Thanks for the video

[@waydel1]

I had 21 streetglide special, the infotainment center in my opinion is a huge distraction. I sold it and bought a FXLRST with no radio Lexin G16 and Simpson modular to hear music from iPhone.

[@AverageMoz]

Where's the mute button?

[@matthewcarlson5847]

If you already have the Sena 50s you do not need to get the cardo. The system just wants a headset with a mic.

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

Where did you get them saddlebag guards at?

[@HegshotRides]

Straight from Harley

[@RobertBaltierrez-o6c]

The more you make videos of these Harley’s, the more you’ve sold me on the Indian touring bikes.

[@mickeygaines007]

These now blow the air cooled comparable Indian out of the water and come close to the challenger. The challenger is the only Indian that has this beat and that gap is now small if there is any at all.

[@yanceyboyz]

The Indian are beautiful but the challenger is riddled with electric gremlins, starts up sometimes and the ECU has thrown a tantrum and sets cylinder 1 to misfire. Turn it off for 10 mins and it resets itself, not great when you're out on your with a bunch of people amd hold them up.

[@mickc4633]

I don’t know if you live like 500 miles away from that Harley dealer. Maybe it would’ve drained your battery, but that battery was dead when I left the fucking shop it was not on a tinder and people were playing with them all the buttons and it had a dead battery just maybe enough to start the bike because the security is not draining the battery that fast. I had the same thing with my bike sitting on the floor, playing with the radio, trying to figure it out and killed the battery and sales people neglected to put it on a tender.

[@athena03000]

Cager here 👋 Do motorcyclists ever refer to themselves as ’cagers’? Like when they drive a car?

[@xphire]

As a former long haul trucker, I tend to refer to cagers as "4 wheelers." E.g., 18 wheelers, 4 wheelers, 2 wheelers, etc.

[@jonthepiercerman]

So you have to keep the clutch held to hill hold to engage?

[@Pyrat_King13]

That's what it sounds like. It may still activate if you were to put the bike into neutral at a stop light, but why would you unless absolutely necessary? I can't tell you how many times I've nearly been rear ended because the chump in the car coming up behind me doesn't realize that I'm already stopped at the intersection.

[@GregToback]

Shifting to neutral disengages the hill hold assist. I've already tested it

[@qualuedtke]

Harley is coming out with a switch that mounts down by the jiffy stand, requires an update to be downloaded. After that it will hill hold in neutral.

[@allwrong3114]

Transport mode? What the heck is that?

[@alejandraguillen950]

It keeps the security system from going off. Otherwise the bike will be blinking the whole time you’re trailering it and the battery will be dead by the time you get to your destination. You could also just leave the keys in the saddlebag to keep the security system from going off.

[@kylescott8241]

I left my fob in my saddle bags trailered it from Florida to Indiana and it was dead. Then I read about transport mode… next time I’ll do that.

[@KimSpangler-hy2vj]

No comment on coil???

[@AKINGSITTING]

What about when the bike is tipped…

[@Heavy69Metal]

Does it apply to the ST as well?

[@erikschoff2272]

Why would you have a transport mode? Sounds dumb.

[@williamsaldanah3554]

Amazing that Harley can’t get it together enough to make the suspension electronically controlled. And come on, making one lever adjustable? This is why Harley is always a day late on design and innovation. By the way I own two HD bikes currently but understand that it is what it is.

[@brettbonz121]

Obviously you don’t either, because neither one is correct.

A very sad commentary when you give a HD Dealership Kudos and they cannot even successfully & professionally deliver a Motorcycle to a customer Fully Operational. The idea that a/the Dealership’s management/owners obviously DO NOT GIVE A SHIT when it comes to PHD Training and attention to detail in the PDI process says volumes! This is yet another reason why I decided on becoming a HD Indee (Magee’s Garage: Repair-Refurbish-Recover) so that my customer’s bike was not tied to FRTs, Corporate Bureaucracy and Owner-Management Greed! Oh! And DON’T get me started on Automotive Groups buying out Local Mom & Pop HD Dealerships as they represent a CASH COW not equaled anywhere else in the transportation-space! If Harley-Davidson were not such an iconic place-holder in the American Cultural Landscape their most recent move appointing a Scandinavian CEO would surely lead them into bankruptcy once again! William A., Walter Davidson Sr., Arthur Davidson, and William S. Harley have got to be clawing at their caskets & yelling WITF!! But as they say: “The Fat Lady Hasn’t Sang Yet!”!

I'm 5'6" and it's perfect. But I also wear a full face helmet, so wind is no problem. I have a '24 SG - it's so much better than my 2015 SGS! So glad I traded up! Also, my dealership found a guy that was able to take my stock clutch lever and bend it a little so its closer to the grip.

[@RoadTroll]

My son just bought 24 RG today, planning on putting a Freedom Shields wind shield on it. I have one on my 19RGS and it has been great. Doesn’t vibrate like the klockwerks did when tested.
