3000 miles and no problems at all. Knock on wood.
I read these forums and freak out about my bike and check oil levels all the time just knowing something is going to go wrong. But then I ride it and all the worries go away.

2017 Road Glide Ultra, purchased July 3rd. Motor is stock with no mods. 3300 miles and no issues yet. I love this bike.


I did not read all of the early M8 threads prior to purchase. If I had, I may have just kept the '09 Ultra Classic. Some of the folks on this forum are having terrible issues with these new motors.

I had 20,526 miles on my 17 CVO Street Glide in 11 months when I traded it.




The new bike has 568 miles on it in five days. Went off shore to work five days after I got it. Get to go home Saturday and ride it.
