M8 transmission issues
Has anybody else broke the shift fork on 3rd gear on a 2017 ultra? Since newer , hardly any upgrades available, just a stage 2 107, , I ride it but just like all my other bikes, don't race or hole shots, it's a touring bike!

Still love to ride
Rats I got my reply that 3rd gear bite the dust and metal everywhere in transmission! And my fault for add ins that voided warranty, again my fault, just didnt think a newer bike would spit up all over the transmission! Now trying to decide to replace gear set with hd(no warranty) or baker and pay 3x the cost???but no way do I want a ding wing!

Sorry to hear that. There have been reports of poor heat treatment causing some gear failures. An acquaintance of mine has it happen to a ‘16 CVO...outvof warranty. Be knows the dealer owner pretty well, and they did the repairs for dealer parts cost only. As for you..maybe you;can find a reputable Indy to do the repairs.

holy crap some of us are running stage 4 kits (100 hp, 100 ft pounds of torque) without blowing up gears....
What EXACTLY did they give you in WRITING to deny the claim and void your warranty?
Sounds to me like many violations of Magnuson Moss Warranty act to me, unless they are claiming under the EPA consent order you did something to change the engine tune/emissions
