Twin-Coooled Product Program
I just received a call from the Milwaukee Development Engineer who was flown in last month to work on the coolant issues with my 2014 Limited. I was impressed that he took the time and effort to call me personally. HD is initiating a Product Program to address the filler neck on the twin-cooled systems. They have determined that the material for the original filler necks had a tendency to warp during extreme heat, thus causing a bad seal between the neck and pressure cap, ultimately causing overflow. The filler neck is now made from a different material that will not warp in extreme heat, thus mantaining a proper seal and eliminating overflow. They don't call it a recall because it's not a safety issue. I logged onto my HD profile and sure enough, here's the Product Program info for my bike:

Mine has not leaked in over 5K miles but at the next service I will definitely ask about this "campaign".

Warping under extreme heat? I thought thought the twin cooled fix the heat. Looks like another on of Harley's great improvements is not working to par just like every thing that they tried to fix from 2007 and up. Auto primary chain adjuster that makes the chain whirl and is a bearing killer, hyd. Cam chain tensioners that make it sound like marbles in a can. Lifters made in Mexico that bleed down,comp sprocket that frets so let's glue a funnel to the primary. That is why it is so wise to trade every year so you don't have to worry about any of this. They are 1 model year bikes.

Do you have a dog in this fight? Yeah, I didn't think so. Give it a rest, would you...
