I can't believe he would do that after all he was an HD mechanic for 27 years.

Anyone that thinks there aren't any trolls on this forum or any other forum is an idiot.

Yes, and obviously some of them aren't very clever.

On another site there is a guy who had his sump twice. He started running it a quart low and he said that now he can't make it sump.

My last sumping experience with my 3rd 117 Stage IV engine was precisely measured to determine the amount of oil in the crankcase. It was boiling oil (whatever temp syn 3 boils at) and there was a measured 44 ounces that came out of the crankcase position sensor. About 1.5 qts.

Heatwave Friend, you are the correct man! I have always read your reports in this forum and in CVOHARLEY, I tried to buy a RGCVO 2019 and two HD dealerships did not sell me the CVO claiming to be problem bikes, so I bought a RGS2019 and now I'm with this RGS and a RKS with problems in the my garage, before buying I should have gone your way.

Two different dealerships refused to sell you bikes? I find that hard to believe. Hope the MOCO doesn't catch wind of that.

There may be some truth to that. When I was at Fuelmoto last week they said they never had or saw a bike that sumped. They also said that they always run the oil level about a 1/2 to 1 qt low and thought that it may be the reason.
