Stage II w/Fuel Moto Jackpot Headpipe & PV tuner
#11
Woods 222
That took all of what, 3 hours before someone had to turn it into "another" thread with warranty BS. If your looking to vent, there are plenty of other threads.
Brad, very sweet chart, thanks for sharing. I have the Fuel Moto headpipe on mine as well, with their woods 222 cam, tuned with powervision. I couldn't be happier. This thing just pulls and pulls. Enjoy your new ride brother.

Some reports of failed oil pumps, cracked rocker arm supports, cracked cases and this one that failed in a rather spectacular manner:

If you do need servicing, I'd suggest at least reflashing the original map in, but then the dealer installed the PV so... That is a nice bump in power for exhaust and tune.

No doom and gloom yet, we will know better by the end of this riding season. Would I call the M8 "bulletproof" at this point? No. Time will tell. Let's get back to the OP, this is a subject for another day.

May be a stretch today, no statistics yet. I do see a "trend" on several threads and posts here. Refer post #10 on this thread and open up. That is a sampling.

the only real 'trend' that matters is the one HD is graphing on charts based on facts from warranty claims and their own research to come up with a rate of failures. myself and two friends with M8's now over 5000 miles and have had zero mechanical issues..our Service manager spoke at our Chapter meeting last week and said since the M8's have been out for 8 months now they have not been issued and TSB's, Recalls and even lifted the initial factory 'service watch' earlier than usual (can't remember exactly the terminology he used. point is as good or better so far as anything the MOCO has put out in his opinion. Now it's still early, I'm not into the 'JD Power Initial Quality Award' bs..wtf does that mean anyway..they made it home from the dealership when they bought it without falling apart..LOL..like you said, we'll know much more after a long hot Summer I suspect

Congrats on the new tune and parts.
My rebuilt King is now officially a Stage II build. Eliminator 400's, Ventilator, Harley TQ cam, Harley neutered tuner and a spam can map at this point. And I road it home today in rain, thunderstorms, wind. Next decat the head pipe.
Good Luck

Air cleaner, Fuel Moto Jackpot Hi rollers and the sc tuner is about all I'm doing to mine beside some trivial bling maybe. Love the sound of those Jackpots , much deeper than I was expecting but not over bearing .
