Hate what? I like my m8. I wish the damn thing was indestructable. But like anything man made it isnt. Is the m8 a good or bad motor? Only time will tell. Its too early to determine eitherway. What we do know already is that SOME have had issues with it. Some havent. Doesnt mean the ones that did are bsing. Just because someone post problems there having with there m8 doesnt mean they are haters.
Honestly im glad you like your m8 and that you havent had any problems with it. I also hope you never do. I wish they all ran perfect. People who spend 20 to 30k on a bike usually arent gonna go online and make up bad **** about it. I would even venture to say most will make up excuses for it when it has problems to justify there purchases.

Like I've said all along most reports here are BULLSCHIT!
You are all getting worked up about something a guy who keeps a link to jamesrusselpublishing as part of signature. Seriously, first he warns you that his IQ is low and then you get peeved at the other drivel he espouses.
Of course he does have some "internet" proof of what he says, so I included "internet" proof that the world is flat.
Well my 2 cents, not a hater, but pretty disappointed. Waited a year, read a lot, made the move on 18 tri-glide made in Feb of 18. Four weeks in and it sumped and started missing. With the miles i had ride to get to the dealer it was able to pump the oil back out of the crank. the miss was caused by a plug wire coming loose. Picked it up on Tues a week ago, got around 45 miles before it sumped again. Back to the dealer, 20 min later they let me know they were going to pull the engine apart. They got myself and my daughter a ride home (80 miles), so kudos to SMHD. So there it is waiting on a decision from hd. I imagine that that there is an issue in there somewhere, service bulletin (m1450) has a procedure well documented.

Since you apparently can't understand english, let me show you two photos that explain what transfer means. The first photo is my primary oil at 3000 miles. The second photo is my primary oil at 4000 miles (after 1000 miles, in case you can't do math either) The Primary oil has turned red from the Redline in the Transmission. Now, is that too difficult for you to understand?
Not hater either, and purchased a 2017 M8 RK with 13k miles. First 200 new to me miles have been awesome! My brother had a sump/stage 4 kit take a **** so who knows what the issue is. His has been fixed for over 7k miles and he beats the **** out of it trying to get it to sump again. No further issues.
The "reality" is whatevers parked in your garage. Good or bad it wont influence whats parked in mine. The cat is out of the bag on sumping and Transfer, no need to come on here and cry about it like its some badge of honor. its your bike deal with it already.

Then I guess there is also really no need for someone to post up some dealer tech jabberwocky's video and then call BS on the reported problems folks are having. I think most folks are just responding to babblecookie/meatball's dribble.
