Default Lowrider S maintenance

I have a 2017 Lowrider S with about 21,000 miles on it. Any known issues I should address before they happen? It's currently stock but I'm planning on changing that soon.

Thanks

From what i have seen on the forum the lifters are known to go bad on the 110. I believe that to be the main issue.

I would also suggest, while changing the cams, to replace the INA brand cage-style OEM inner cam bearings with the better Koyo-Torrington captive needle inner cam bearings...

While the B-168 size INA OEM bearings, started in the 96" Twin Cams, haven't had nearly as many issues as the original B-148 size INA cam bearings that were OEM in the 88" engines, the Koyo-Torrington captive needle bearings are a better bearing. It's a good "while you are in there" change...

Awesome, thanks for letting me know.

Now I understand why fuelmoto sells a cam, lifter bearing kit for the 110, ha.

If you plan on really souping up the motor, get rid of the tapered small end rods and put in some S&S rods.
