This is another poster who dropped in just to tell us a story! Four pages and no update?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say your issue might have something to do with riding 100+ MPH for 45 minutes straight.

Do you realize that 100 mph is only 3850 rpm? You should be able to run that rpm all day every day without a problem. I find it ridiculous that the MOCO suggests that you should buy their stage 3 & 4 kits to make your bike more powerful and faster and then says you can’t run moderate rpm’s because it will sump if you do.

I know on our road trips out west we are 85 MPH hour after hour. It damn well better do it.

Id tell the dealer fix it, they screwed it up.
‘I run 90 to 100 5 days a week on I-95 between Stuart and West Plam. I try to go slower, just can’t do it.

Yeah ... somethings not right with this thread ... and its not possible to "cook" oil by riding fast ... if so, then the bike has a defect.
