Hello everyone, hope all well.
I have been seeking out opinions on the HD 110 cu in motor. I have heard that there are a number of CVO's with this engine and that they exp[experience major problems at approximately 70,000 km's or 40,000 miles.
I just recently purchased a used 2011 CVO SE Ultra Classic from a local dealer here in Calgary, put on about 400 km's , a tank of fuel and had concern of rattling noise then to alert them to such via email and was told to google rocker lockers, which I did and ordered a set for installation and upon arrival then to bring bike to their shop and again express concern with request to alleviate noise and install rocker lockers. When there, i was advised to leave bike at shop as noise was too excessive, more banging than rattling. They tore out and replace the lifters and buttoned her up but still had the noise. They took the pistons out and stated the front piston had severe scuffing on it and repair costs are now at over $5500.00.
I am meeting with the powers that be tomorrow early afternoon and looking to be prepared when seated with them and asking if anyone out there experiencing similar problems or concerns with the CVO 110 cu. in engine after approximately 70,000 km's / 40,000 miles.
If so, please contact me at mutual4@shaw.ca.

Greetings all.
Seeking information on HD CVO 110 cu. in engine. Have heard that many re experiencing major problems at approximately 40,000 miles.
just purchased a 2011 CVO with a little over 40,000 miles and she's all apart waiting on pistons to resolve noise concern.
Front piston was badly scuffed, lifters were all re[placed and rocker lockers installed but to no avail in addressing major engine noise concern
Any relevant information would be much appreciated.
