Just bought my first ever CVO so the list was short....
2012 FLHTCUSE with 16K Miles and 2 previous mature Cajun Owners. Very well taken care but...
Replaced the OEM Plugs, Cleaned the SE Air Cleaner, Replaced all 3 Holes with the Redline V-Twin Package...20w50 Eng, Shockproof Pepto Bismal in the Tranny, Redline Primary and new K&N Filter. Redline Fuel Treatment. Brought Shock Pressure up to 35psi. Running 40/36 on the skins per the Manual.
400 miles later I have some observations...1. The SE110 is the noisiest TC I've ever owned. 3 Prior Dynas with an EVO and 2 TC88s never sounded like a Singer Sewing Machine on steroids. The good news is once I swapped out the whatever oil with the Redline 20W50 I could hear the 'Thank You' sounds from the engine. 2. The new NGK Iridium Plugs made a difference in starting and running. All good... 3. A clean Air Filter is a healthy Harley breathing normally. 4. 2 of the guys I ride with swear by the Redline Tranny Shockproof Oil. I now also swear by this stuff. Wish I had used it on my prior Dynas. 5. No ferrous metal on any of the magnetic chip detectors. Usual amount of chain fuzz on the Primary Plug so grateful nothing appears to be coming apart internally. 6. The last thing I did was to install the A.I.M. 84mm Variable Pressure Clutch. Reduced my clutch pull force by about 20% and really improved the engagement oh so smooth... $300. 7. Swapped out the stock mini windshield with an OEM 12" Shield from a guy in our group with an Ultra Classic. So much better and a lot less wind resistance. Probably going to get a Recurve.
However, having now studied the 'Rocker Locker' noise issue and fix, I've decided to see if I can quiet things down a little more with a switch to the Redline 20W60. Harley says no problem to help quiet down the SE110 Twin Cam. NW Florida Summer of 2020? Definitely 80F or above for the 60W to do its thing. Good thing I have some hearing loss from 48 years of flying airplanes and helicopters...
This CVO is a first for me in so many ways and I'm really enjoying it. Cruise Control, Fuel Injection, Rear Air Shocks, Hydraulic Clutch, 6 Speed, Back Rest, Alarm System, Remote FOB, Factory HP SE Exhaust System, Factory Communications System, Factory Sound System, R&P Cup Holders, etc...
Definitely the heaviest Harley I've ever ridden and yet it handles really well both Solo and with a Pax.
I'm done for now...
