Mine runs great. I put synthetic oil and a fuel pak when I changed my pipes and doesn't run too hot anymore

The Softails don't have any transmission noise, other then a whine in 5th gear. The 2007 models run hotter then previous years,due to them being set leaner, to satisfy the EPA requirements. Most owners have their air/fuel ratiore-mapped so the engine runs richer.
