Put some good sny oil in it not HD SNY3 a real sny oil.
Get some Redline shock proof heavy, or Spectro platium for 6 speedsin the tranmission and ride the darn thing.
Everyone cried my 07 would melt down if I did not do a stage one and put a pc111 on it.Well last night I turned 15,000 miles on it and it runs just fine not one problem with it. !00% stock
Rode the heck out of it last summer paked it for winter fired it up running heck out of it now.
In the heat in the cold and in many VFW rides. Half this BS you hear about heat is just that.
Now pc111 have there own set of problems and many do run into problems with them.
The TFI works much better for a street rider.
If you think with the modes it is to lean have it checked leaner that factory setting is not good
All new bikes run hotter not just HD EPA is the cause , bike is built for it. Good sny lubes do protect from heat much better.
on my RG 07 on my fatboy
M1Vtwin 20/50 in the engine M1VTWIN 20/50
Spectro Platium in trans ( six speed) Redline shockproof heavy ( five speed)
F+ in primary F+ in primary

WhatI use but there are a lot of good ones out there.
