Default Stage IV

Anybody else having problems getting the stage IV kit? I ordered it on May 30 and it's back ordered until July 14th.

Both stage 3 and 4 kits are on hold due to technical issues. My stage 3 dealer installed kit started pushing oil into the breather after 5500 miles of riding. Can't speak to any other issues that my be involved.

Thanks. The dealers are clueless.

Maybe they're trying to find the missing torque between 2-3000 rpm....

Nice, top gear cruiseing speed is where you want your torque

I doubt Harley made any great effort to explain their reasoning when they made the move. My dealer has installed a hand full of stage 3 kits and most importantly had a problem child (my bike) that required a Harley tech inspector visit. Without my bike issue they'd likely be wondering what was going on was well.
