??????????????? MJ, Can you please lose focus on me, and go back to talking about how your bike is stock, and you dyno'd a stock bike and were so excited about the gains your dealer made you believe? That and riding under 4000 RPM to prevent transfer. No insult, riders are doing what they can do prevent sumping and transfer happening. You seem to be the leading in the easy riding group.. good for you. Ride you $19K HD easy. I am sure you will get some more miles out of her. Meanwhile, us that have spent over 90K, will continue to expect more from HD as we are due.

HD is literally banking on people who won’t/can’t do their own maintenance and upgrades. I smile every time I look at my bike and think about the thousands of dollars I’ve saved by having a service manual and some patience.

Exactly what I did. Had the S&S pump and cam plate installed during the stage 2. It sucked to spend $500 on something the MOCO should get right out of the gate, but it's piece of mind and cheaper than dealing with the after effects of sumping.

Probably going to install the fat clutch rod as well to prevent tranny to primary transfer. It's a cheap easy solution to an annoying problem.
