Hell man your so pissed you posted twice!!

 

100% agree. The MoCo has been letting its customers down with pathetically predictable regularity since they went into business. Nothing new there!

 

LMAO, jpooch00, you are a very bitter man. Im not a Harley fanboy but I do like my M8. The only guarantee in life is, well you know...... taxes and death. I actually enjoy reading your posts, I just wonder......

Why?

 

not me, my Lord the negative nellie stuff has been played out over and over and over and

 

Donal Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes. Loved that film and especially that character.

"Hey, that's paint.... That one wasn't!

Hilarious film.

 

Labels are labels. You call it bitter, I think of it as stating the facts.

Whatever.

 

That said, there have been literally millions of Harley owners that would argue they love their motorcycles and have ridden them for millions of miles with smiles on their faces the whole way.
Maybe you should not own one of these bikes if you are so unhappy and convinced they fundamentally defective?
I’ve got a few more than 300k miles on 3 baggers and only left by the side of the road once due to a broken belt.
I love my M8 (22k mi)for all the reasons mentioned by those who have not experienced the failures brought to these forums.

Agreed, one of my favorite films of all time. In fact you kind of remind me of the don Rickles Character..... complaining all the time.



Im not labeling you bud....... You do complain.... alot. Like I said, I think some of your posts are really funny.

 

Do not get my wrong I do enjoy my Harleys, and I ride about 24K miles a year. That said they are not reliable. Harley does indeed sell them knowing full well of the issues. They just count on the average ride will never put enough miles a year on the bike to have the issues covered by warranty.

Out of the Four CVO bikes with 110 motors I have owned the 09, (46K miles) and the 15 (44K miles) had catastrophic lifter failure. The 09 had the top end, cams and so on replaced under warranty. The 15 had the entire engine replaced under warranty. The 12 had two compensaters, and one clutch and one Voltage regulator under warranty. The 13 has had no issue, as I built the motor with 1500 miles on the bike when it started getting lifter noise.

Wife's 09 had the stator replaced under warranty at 44K miles.

Traded the 17 CVO at 21K miles, but had been in for oil issues.

No issues yet on the 18 CVO, but I will not be surprised if there are before 45K miles based on their track record.

I trade before warranty is up as I do not trust them, and at 6K for a replacement engine it should be easy to see why.
