HDFS instructs borrowers to contact Harley-Davidson Credit for the exact pay-off amount before paying off a motorcycle loan, because a simple-interest balance changes daily. Call Rider Services at 1-888-MY1-HDFS (1-888-691-4337), Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time, to request the payoff. Have the account number ready so the quote can be matched to the account.
HDFS holds a lien on the motorcycle's title until the loan is paid in full. Once the payoff is satisfied, HDFS releases its lien and the title so the motorcycle can be retitled through the estate to an heir or sold. Confirm the exact payoff amount with Rider Services first, then send the payoff check payable to Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. HDFS does not publish a fixed timeline for the title release.
An heir who wants to keep the motorcycle can pay off the loan and retitle the bike through the estate, or refinance the balance in their own name. Any financing in the heir's name is subject to HDFS's credit and underwriting guidelines. Payments must be kept current in the meantime, because the motorcycle secures the loan and can be repossessed if the account falls behind. Contact Rider Services at 1-888-MY1-HDFS to discuss the options.
