So, went to start my 2010 Ultra yesterday morning and the weirdest thing happened. The motor kicked back when I hit the starter button, there was a loud exhale and a considerable amount of white smoke rose up from the front and left side of the motor. It totally took me by surprise and I didnt react quick enough to pinpoint where the smoke came from. Restarted it and it ran fine on a 300 mile trip through the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Things to note: 1) I swithched from synthetic oil to Dino oil the night before 2) I had the SE Compensator put in a week prior under warranty.

My warranty expires tomorrow and I've got 13K miles. Can anyone offer input as to what the hell happened to my bike?

 

BOOOOOM..................she's gonna blow!

 

It tried to run backwards for a moment. You'll have that on occasion....

 

Gee thanks Lieutenant....When the hell are you going to test ride my bike????

 

Seriously man....this has me freakin the F out!!!

 

Bring it over, just smoking a cigar and listening to a little "revenge" by Danger Mouse.......getting my groove on. Mama out buying me some oil to do my oil change!

 

I would but gotta hit the rack soon....my F'n lieutenant scheduled me to work in the A.M.!

 

Hope it's slower for you tomorrow...........I humped butt today

 

So I heard...is the kid in Quechee gonna survive his injuries?

 

Out of surgery, both ventricles in his heart collapsed. It's hour by hour they said. That was only one of 5 crashes today.
