OK, I will stop torturing everyone with this thread and deal with it myself but unbelievably the bike sumped today! After last week maybe the "karma Gods" are paying me back but went about 100 miles today with bike running great, stopped to get a drink and when I took off huge loss of power. went about 5 miles and pulled over at a gas station and MANUALLY checked the oil and was barely touching the stick. I was about 30 miles from the dealer and said said screw it, I am going to try and make it there as most were highway miles. I could barely get on the freeway without getting run over as I couldn't get any speed going but finally got it up to about 70. The heat coming out the right side was crazy and it was smelling like it was burning up. All this is exactly what it did the first time which ended up melting entire motor so I thought "ohh well". What I had to stop at the light at the end of the offramp I could only get the bike up to about 10 mph the couple of miles to the dealer. When I stopped all the people outside were going "I think your bike is burning up" because of the smell.
3rd motor this month-amazing!!
Not sure where this is going to go but Im sure you all are bored to death with this and must think i am exaggerating-I think I would if I were reading it. absolutely makes no sense, 16000 miles with zero issues then I cant get 1000 miles on it without scrambling the motor..
Im taking up knitting!
SDCVO,
I ride a 2017 114 CVO Stg 2 Streety. Mine has sumped twice. Both times after running for extended periods at over 90 in temps over 100. Both times it sumped I noticed a drastic drop in power. I immediately pulled up, idled for 2 minutes (as per the service bulletin) and checked the oil - which was very low on the stick. After the letting my bike cool for an hour, I was able to restart as if nothing had happened.
HD has now replaced my pump with the latest version. My dealer called me in to inspect the bike while they had it apart. No signs of heat damage.
After reading your story above about how you continued to ride yours after it was obviously sumping I can only conclude that you deliberately damaged your motor so forum members would feel sorry for you and to give yourself an excuse to buy the BMW. Maybe you suffer from Munchausen syndrome by proxy? At any rate, you best hope MOCO doesn't read these forums otherwise they might not honor your warranty.
