Ron has several videos on all issues related to the bad oil pump, pre May 22, 2019. I'll be replacing mine soon, just to avoid this issue from causing damage to engine parts. Warranty work won't replace all damaged parts. Good luck!
My bike is an early 2019 cvo that did not get the new oil pump and seal, actually the new 8 lobe pump was not even put when this happened but HD put a new cam plate with the seal in under warranty and left the same pump in because at the time it was the newest one out. The seal solved any further sumping. My bike is now a FM 128 and I had them put in the newest 8 lobe pump when it was built, zero sumping for me since the seal was put in.

So, the new cam plate, and seal, took care of it by itself? I didn't know the cam plate was missing a seal, like the oil pump. TY!

Not really sure why they replaced the cam plate but the pump seal took care of any further sumping for my bike. I actually tried to make it sump after the warranty work and it never did and has not since. Hours and hours of 85mph interstate through multiple states, banging through the gears to redline and all has been good, actually great now with the 128, should have done that sooner! LoL

Probably need to sync the new lights. Here is the procedure:
I hear some well posted company is coming out with new rockers to correct the defective ones in the M8. And another well known company is building two stabilizers one for the front one for the rear to correct the death wobble.
When will some engineer from the factory take action? The wobble is coming from the loose swingarm.The shaft is machined undersized for the ID of the Spherical bearings.Take out the shaft.Have it hard chromed and precision ground to press fit the bearings. Wobble Gone!
