2018 Transmission oil transfer!!! Anyone ??
#11
Is anyone familiar with Feuling part # 7097 race series oil pump system. Just ordered one today for the sumping issue. These guys knew the problem before I described it and said they have the fix. Not cheap at $1199 but a lot cheaper thank regular breakdowns and Harley not having an oil pump remedy. Back ordered for 2 weeks, I’ll let everyone know if it fixes our pump issue once I get the bike back in a few weeks. Thoughts?

Have you actually had a sumping issue that makes you want to spend that much cash?

Still not a Softail example that I know of. I’ve been through the cases of the touring M8 and the pump will always just be a band-aid on larger issues. Band-aid is better than nothing. I’d be interested to know if there were changes to the internal case design architecture on the Softails...

If sumping is the question look up and compare the 2018 crankcases for the Softail and Touring: https://shop.outpostalaska.com/OEMpartfinder.htm
Note the increase in size to accommodate the second rear counterbalancer to the rear in the Softail crankcase. Might make a difference in internal volume and sumping behavior?
In the camshaft diagrams they appear to share the same oil pump assembly 62400178

Sorry guys I tried to make it clear I'm only interested in the transfer problem on the 18 Softails, if it exist. I know about sumping and transfer on the M8 Turing bikes. I did not think a 18 Softail would transfer with a cable clutch, but one guy above said he had reports that they do, I would like to see proof that a cable clutch 18 softail will transfer!!! I hope like hell they don't.
As for sumping, the extra crankcase volume from the second counter balancer may be why sumping in the Softail models is rare. Really doesn’t seem to be an often reported issue as with the touring models.
