Bulletproof 2014 FLHTK
Haven't posted for a while. I just thought I'd give a quick SITREP and say my bike is going really well - problem free, and burning no oil at 42500 Kms on the clock.
Here's to many more thousand trouble free K's!
Did I mention - I love my FLHTK?!

When I said "problem free" I didn't count my water pump like maybe I should have since it also went bung like yours. It's just that I don't consider it part of the prime mover part of the engine ie pistons and bores,,,

Currently 28,000 miles on my 2015 RGS. Only issue was a part of the cruise control system needed a replacement. Covered under warranty. No oil consumption.

My 2014 FLHTK with about 25,000 miles, has experienced one issue (not counting the recalls that were without incident) that would be considered a break down. Splines on the shifter shaft went bad, $60 in parts, problem solved.

That is the nature of forums like this one. For every person who are experiencing trouble, many are not.

high mileage
I think I've got you all beat 187,000 km.s (close to 120,000 miles) with basically a stock motor in a 99 Eglide. I have done intake, pipes cam and lifters, and replaced cam tensioners twice. Starting to use a little oil; 1/2 quart between changes. The only significant problem I've had was a poorly sealed ECM that ended up with 1/2 inch of water in it, but still worked once dried out. I have since converted to carb. I still really enjoy this bike and hope to ride it for may more years.
