Default 110

I am getting an 08 Ultra Screaming Eagle and have doubts about the engine. Can anyone help me make the right move. I have hears that they are still having problems with it.

If you are worried, I can say that for me the number one peace of mind move would be to buy a long extended warranty and don't do anything to void it.

Many dealers will let you add new pipes, a/c, sert, even cams and keep full extended warranty so long as they are all harley parts and you do it through them. Check this out with your dealer and get something in writing if you can.

Whether that is worth it depends on how long you intend to keep the bike, and your financial situation. But it was the right decision for me.

I am not aware of any problems with the engine. as a dealer we have sold about 25 different SE BIKES WITH THE 110 ENGINE. None have come back.

Than why do I keep reading about the problems with the 07 model on this Forum and the Screaming Eagle forum.

Considering H-D sold about 360,000 bikes for model year '07, the dozen or so people crying in the forums seems fairly insignificant and wouldn't put me off buying a new SE 110 if that's what I wanted. As mentioned- buy an extended warranty and don't look back.
I know a couple of folks with 110's and have none have had any problems, and in my family we have three '07's sitting in the driveway and they have been problem-free.

If you want one, get it. If not, or if you're worried, buy a metric. Just don't visit their forums beforehand or you'll be just as worried, if not more so, than with the HD...

Whatever you get- good luck!

Why buy if you are worried? That doesn't makes sense to me.

The motor does have problems and they are growing every day. The reason you don't have every SE owner in with leaks has everything to do will miles. Give them a little more time so they get 10k on the odometer and you;re going to see most of them in the shop for a top end. I really like my 07 SE Ultra but it's in the shop now for it's second set of pistons, cylinders and now new heads. The bikes run like crap until you put another 2k in them for pipes, ac and SERT.

My buddie just took delivery on an 08 SE Ultra a week ago. It's hotter than hadies and has already been in for oil spewing out the air cleaner. I was with him today and the oil temp was at 314 after a mild ride in Yosemite.

I have a thread going over on the CVO site. The numbers just keep stacking up.

It's up to you if you want to deal with the hassles of this bike. Don't kid yourself though.

Just rolled 17k on my 07 CUSE and haven't had any "problems". Put 2k on it before the Rineharts/SEAC/SERT and yeah, it ran hot, but runs just fine now (I also purchased a set of RJs heat shields - I get a lot of comments and questions about them too - Love 'em). Worst problem I've had with the bike overall is the Neutral indicator keeps wigging out - sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. They haven't found the problem but are suspecting that it has something to do with the signal running through the security module... dunno - annoying yes, but not enough to keep me from recommending you pull the trigger.

And yes, I bought the extended warranty.

Check the two connectors on the neutral switch behind the rear jug. My neutral light flickered occasionally when new & the service tech simply squeezed the wires' terminal connectors a little so they'd grip the terminals on the switch better and never had another problem. That was almost 5000 miles ago...

Harley Davidsons don't have any problems at all , It must be the owners how dare they expect a brand new scoot to have no faults.
This crap is really starting to pi$$ me off. Time for a class action suite.IMO
