You should name the dealer here so no one else makes the mistake of buying a bike there. The dealer that is charging you for delivery after they dropped your bike is pretty "Low Class" in my book. My dealer will drive 120 mile to pick up my bike for regular service if needed.... For no charge ! That is 120 miles 1 way. Just sayin...

So there going to charge you a return fee to bring ya bike back after the clutch failed @ 564 miles and required warranty work,

What Douche Bag of a dealership did you go to ?.

We need to know who these dirt bags are so no one else gets stung

Wiz 🤬

Anyone have this problem with their seal?
You're kidding, right?

Probably not. It was his 2nd post, so he hasn't spent any time in the echo chamber. Probably just trying to ride, imagine that!

Have there been any updates to the 2019 M8's to fix the sumping or other problems?

It is a very very well known issue. We call it "transfer" or "migration". Harley has a sort of fix that works sometimes, sometimes doesn't. $tonecold has a fix that reportedly works 100% of the time.

Harley seems to believe sumping is fixed on the 2019s, all except the very first batch have received a seal that they seem to believe fixes it.
