You should have a 30 tooth on transmission OEM 70 tooth on Differential unless someone changed them highly unlikely. good luck with power problems. Travel safely Fred

Welcome to the forums, this post Is hidden In a topic started in 2011, I think you should start a new thread with this Info, M8 owners should be aware of this. Thanks for posting.

They are scoping pistons but cylinder scored up.it was a sudden thing. Went up steep hill to intersection to turn. It idled down to ECT mode while stopped and I applied throttle into turn and all hell broke loose. Went straight back home with it because dealer could not come get it then and told me to take it back home. Harley picked it up two days later. Talked to service manager today wondering if it was compensator and found it to be bigger troubles. The old Dyna never had issues. All this new technology is giving me concerns.
Things fail...you just were the unlucky recipient. Thankfully under warranty.

HD was great about it. Total Engine rebuild. It took a few weeks but got it back and now at 8,000 miles. All doing well. The culprit was the oil pump. They installed an updated model as part of the rebuild.
