Default 2018 breakout 114 problems
Just curious if anyone is having issues with their breakout 114. I put a big radius exhaust with Vance and Hines fuelpak fp3 on at 500 miles and I now have 589 miles on the bike. Left work today and got a few miles from the shop when switching into 3rd I lost all power. There was a spinning sound coming from the primary but wasn't engaging. I could switch through all gears but just wasn't catching. I pulled over and shut her off to look over everything and now she won't even crank over. Needless to say my new Harley had to be trailered home. I'm not happy. I kn I have the warranty but just wanted to ask here before I took it in to see if anyone had similar issues. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what the problem is...but the FP3 will probably void any warranty claim.

As long as harley does the install and the FP3 is installed with a street tuner it does not void warranty.

Sorry to hear man. Best of luck, keep us posted. I would like to do some mods but afraid of warranty issues.

Yes the FP3 is a tuner but Harley seems to think it is to aggressive so they make you install a street tuner with it that tunes it down a bit. BS I kn but what can you do.

You can flash the bike back to stock, disconnect the FP3 then take it into the dealer for warranty.
