Default 2017 Tri Glide Milwaukee Eight 107

Hi
having a problem with brand new Tri Glide, seems I'm not the only one. Oil light coming on at idle only 120 miles on the clock, it's with the dealer and they are doing the best they can and now waiting for a new oil pump. This is obviously a common issue with the Milwaukee Eight, my question is, is it a major strip down on a Tri Glide to replace the oil pump, cam and cover? Not that happy for my ride to have this level of surgery after just a couple of hundred miles, would really appreciate knowing how big a job it is as I am getting the impression it is not a straight forward job.

Thank you

You can pull the exhaust, rockers, pushrods, cam plate cam, then reassemble in 30 mins?

It's not a major job by any means, no problem for the average tech. Sounds like they are taking good care of you.
