I'm not, but did try to interject some humor on the shifter note. But, I could go either way on the troll thing. He did mention he had a shovel, a lot of the trolls wouldn't have even known that word, much less add a date to it. However, "in shop more than garage", "unable to fix due to red tape from factory", "dealer said need to change air and pipes with new tuner" (maybe!), "called factory and of course the hd run a round" (doubt it), "HD wants way to get out of warranty". So, I'll just sit back, wait and see, it just don't sound right .........

 

Kill or cure.


cheers

 

Harley CVO models are shipped with Syn3 in all 3 holes . There is nothing wrong with running syn or dino oil in a new engine as long as it meets the basic specs required.

I have heard stories about dry engines and trans slipping through the inspection process but dont know if they are ever really true, simple check to be sure you have oil.

I agree ride it, you documented the problem now ride it. If it blows it will be covered under warranty. The bike should run correctly stock and not require any mods to perform per spec and reliability get you from point A to B.

 

+1 on that!

 

My 2012 streetglide survived a hour in a traffic jam on a 80 degree day! Sure it got hot but it ran ok and got me home! Take that bike back!

 

The bike should run perfectly in stock form. If it does not, there is something wrong with the bike. You paid good money, demand that you get what you paid for.

I bought my SG at the first leg of a 5-day ride (fell in love with it at a dealer and traded in the FB I was riding), and it gave me no problems during this trip. Now, many miles later, the bike runs great with no problems. Of course, it is not stock any more...

 

I did change out the oil & filter the very next day fearing that the Syn-3 got completely cooked in that traffic jam, & was no longer protecting well. I ended up using the Spectro-Platinum Full Syn 20W-50 & noticed that the engine runs much smoother & cooler now, & no its not my imagination either!.......

 

You have a brand new bike and it's trying to grenade itself. I don't know if I would even want it anymore. With all those issues who knows if at some point down the road a bigger problem doesn't rear it's ugly head.
I would buy the longest possible warantee I could get from the MOCO. Keep it basically stock so the warantee isn't affected,and ride er til she blows.
You musta bought the Friday bike.
Bikes built on Fridays seem to have issues. Hehehe

 

Thanks all, took to dealer and oil filter bad. They replaced oil and filter temps back at 200 and they want to clean oil screens and replace lifters..First check up on them due to all trouble

 

Persistance. Not a bad personality trait. I hope this takes care of it. If not, please let us know. For, when we read of another's similar problem, we will recommend they address the issue as you have.

Good luck.
