Sumping Sorted
I am very surprised at the lack of excitement or interest on the news of a Harley Davidson developed sumping seal solution.
As some of our technical Gurus have cleverly surmised it works by closing in the compression which escapes through the
bearing and crancase housing.Evidently this increased pressure assists to keep the pump primed during sustained high RPM runs.
No I was not one of those astute Geniuses! I was told of the developement by a Master Tech Instructor that I was with at Sturgis.
Time will tell but at least we can have a Beer and a Cheer?

(so far) or transfrs fluid (so far). But I,m not sure I will roll the dice on another one. Spending that much money and HOPING that I get a good one again?

Isn't this something like the 8th. or so "fix" for sumping that they've come up with so far?
Doesn't seem like they're having much luck with their multiple attempts at bandaid fixes for the M8 issues.

Really have to agree with your response. What really irks me are the replies from the key board commandos who do not even own a M8 and hate every thing Moco does.

Yea you guys are right though the M8 threads are run by guys with out them and are upset when we ride them and have so much fun on such awesome bikes , without sumping they are nothing,where will they go I almost feel sorry for the stinking fuking maggots .
So many fake sumpings too It's a sad state of affairs , petty envy from jealous punks. .

The 19 that sumped was put together without a seal apparently, that's why it sumped.But the 19's sump is all we'll hear about that.
