I traded my 11 RG CVO Ultra in on a 16 RG CVO Ultra when it was a little over 31K on the clock. Never an issue.

I also have a 12 RG CVO without any issue. The 16 LRS 110 only has about 2,300 miles so to soon to say.

Don't know why some bikes have an issue and others of the same model don't. I've owned several twin cam cvo's. 2005, 2007, 2010, 2013 and never a problem. Probably put 150k miles total on those bikes. I maintained them by the book, didn't really mod the engine internals and rode them hard!

I did the same thing at 15k on my CVO Ultra (as well as a good tune). 👍

Problem is hd put too heavy a valve spring in it and didn't upgrade lifters hence eating them. When I did s&s 585 cams I yanked heads to shave for compression bump and changed valve springs to kibble white .630 lift beehive and also went to comp pro mag lifters just for insurance. Now at 110hp/122tq
