Once again, let me correct falsehoods. There were no aftermarket parts on the bike when it sumped. The dealer confirmed and so did HD. In fact it sumped in the dealer's possession, so they certainly know what was on the bike when it sumped. When you have an 800 credit rating come talk to me about financial matters.

But you'll need another 38 points to catch up and solid 8 figures to teach me anything about finances.

Its been posted before. And it matches exactly what I shared earlier in this thread regarding the facts of when I bought my bike, the upgrades made and the bike being fully compliant in the Spring of 2017 as HD was modifying their long held practices regarding honoring warranty claims. As those practices more firmly changed, so did I. As I stated and was confirmed by HD and my dealer, my bike was fully compliant when all 3 Stage IV 117 engines sumped.
We can repeat this story a hundred times. The ending will be the same. The bike was compliant. The engine sumped 3 times and had 4 engines installed all covered under warranty. I no longer own the bike. I am still posting about my sumping experience for those that are dealing with M8 engine sumping for the first time. And 3 Model Years later, M8s are still be sumping. The saga continues.

BTW, if any of you are worn out from mulberry bush tail chase, I'd like to change the subject for abit. There's plenty of time to get back to the personal attacks if you want.
In between the "engaging" posts on this thread, I've been planning an 1800 mile trip with EagleRider between Seattle and SanFran via the Columbia Gorge, PCH, Crater Lake and Napa. Anyone use Eaglerider for a FLY&RIDE or take this route. Leading a group of 9 couples I ride alot with and curious if anyone has been on this ride or used Eagleriders?
Send me a PM if you have any thoughts on Eagleriders or this route.

And then when they hang up from that call with the dealer, they need to pick up the phone and call this # 734-214-4100. Its the EPA Vehicle and Engines Import Hotline for notifying the EPA of emission violations they made when they changed out their exhaust to the non-EPA certified exhaust that they installed on their bike. Oh and by the way, they can use that same # to report the aftermarket tuner they installed on their bike so they can circumvent the EPA emissions restrictions on their HD factory engine.
When every self-righteous guy on this forum has made these two phone calls and posted about, I'll gladly "man-up". I'll be standing by for your update.

Sure....I'll "man-up" Just as soon as every guy on this forum calls their HD dealership today to let them know they have violated their warranty with the exhaust/engine changes they've made to their new bike.

Why? Not everyone on the forum isn't owning up to their decisions. That's what it about, you knew what you were doing when you willfully voided your warranty, you made posts about how you weren't worried about it. Then when you started having issues you went into deny deny deny mode. I have 2 customers with sumping issues that haven't even tried to open up a claim because they voided their warranty and they knew it. They new when we did the work it was a gamble and they're owing that decision. I have 2 S&S oil pump and cam plates sitting on the shelf waiting to try it for them. Now you are trying to get all self-righteous ad act like everyone else is doing it to. Whatever dude, enjoy your vacation.
