Verdict · NHTSA data
Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just one complaint on file for the 2000 Harley-Davidson Fltri — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

Defect
ON CERTAIN TOURING AND POLICE MODEL MOTORCYCLES, THE 40 AMP MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN "OPEN" FOR REASONS OTHER THAN WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED INTERRUPTION OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MOTORCYCLE.
Consequence
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO STALL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-343-4056.

“I HAVE A 2000 HARLEY DAVIDSON FLTRI WITH 53,000 MILES, WHILE I WAS RIDING I HEARD A LOUD NOISE SO I PULLED OVER, THE REAR SWING ARM WHERE THE REAR AXLE COMES THROUGH CRACKED RIGHT OF THE BIKE. I CALLED HARLEY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME GET IT…”
The record is thin — 1 NHTSA complaint — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 2000 Harley-Davidson Fltri. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
