I have a 2018 CVO Ultra. I worry about sumping all the time. So far any warranty work I've had has been covered by the dealers here in town. I've actually considered splitting the cases just to fix the piston oilers. What baffles me is Harley's unwillingness to admit of the issue. I know it's a small percentage of bikes..Since it is, Harley should have no problem fixing the issue, no matter what you've done to the motor. It's a faulty design on their part.
Just fyi... You can check, remove and reinstall piston oilers without splitting the case. When I go big bore, I'll be checking the oilers as well.
Steve @ GMR Performance has the bike, he's pretty busy at the moment, but hopefully the build will begin soon.
Cant wait to get back into the wind & get this behind me...
....... coming from a guy who can't find the quote button & apparently doesn't believe in punctuation
thank you for the kind words, punctuation will change your life!!
I'm sorry my point was to discourage people from saying" ALL workers at Harley are temps "and" problems at Harley are INCREASING" without providing statistics . Any statement can be true but when people make outlandish statements i would just like some evidence .
