HD told you that? Or was it some clown at the dealership? I've had employees but not necessarily techs tell me some of the strangest things.

heat managemant story is B.S.!
Last summer it was 90 plus when we were stuck in Traffic outside of Waterbury Conn. We were idling for most of the time, I didn't have a cooler or anything on the bike, (it was 2 weeks old, first road trip), and it idled away, and when I tell yopu it was hot I mean melt the paint off the tank hot!.
Wed. I had the fan on, it was hot, but NOT that hot, the oil temp was hotter when we were stuck in traffic outside Mystic 2 weeks ago.
Me thinks perhaps the heat MAY have toasted the AIS solnoid motor, or something like that, (that's a little bit of hell between tose 2 cylinders, no air movement in there at all.
I was a mechanic and a service manager for Chrysler for 22 years and I hear ALL the B.S. tales they give you, (I always tell them when I at a service desk," I can spot a "crank puller story 1000 yards away". I usually let them finish thier tale and ask tehm, "do YOU really believe that story and better do you think I do"? I do it in a nice way. Just TELL me you've NO IDEA, not a fairy tale)-OK I'll get off my soap box now!
I'm off for a test ride today, then if'n it starts to act up, I'll slip a volt meter in there and see what the story is.
