It sucks that I voided my warranty but it was my choice. Has anyone else had this problem? The bike was dumping too much fuel. I couldn't get a decent tune on it after installing the 465c cam. The exhaust pipe looking into it is filthy with soot. Just wondering if it was just me?

 

Been happening a lot. HD has an aluminum one that can replace the plastic one (also known to warp).

 

Yeah. They will SELL you a part to fix a problem the bike came with. They have a catalog full of that kind of stuff.

 

I agree.its not the first time I hear of the plastic one warping . but its not common as the oil transfer problem that I hear so much of .so I will leave mine stock and when I do the next performance upgrade I will be changing it out since I doubt HD will do a recall on them

You guys must be new to Harley Davidson.

 

1st Harley , rode sportbikes for 35 years

 

Ugh all i can find is this

 

Fairly new. 12th Harley over 35 years.

 

When I took my 2018 114ci apart to do the camshaft install I found it interesting how the air cleaner backing plate attaches to the throttle and individual cylinder heads (for the crankcase breathers). It seemed like a lot of confidence in stacking tolerances to me. I wouldnt be surprised if this put some excess stress on the intake manifold.

 

Nothing new there. My ‘94 Evo Softail has pretty much the same arrangement.
