You can't say "bugs" in the design, or an engine with issues is a good engine! You might like the power or like the way it rides, but consistent failures of the same things, constitues poor design, under-engineering, and/or poorly manufactured components. I think Jacques has it right. It's "potentially" good engine. Needs a substantial amount of help is all! And don't count on the right help ever being provided by the MoCo!!! They'll never make this engine all it SHOULD be!!!

Hoist!

I have to disagree also with the "110 being an awful choice" statement. I really enjoy my bike and even though the engine is stock (Air, Motor, ECM, Exhaust) I find it to have great smooth power. Granted there are "bugs" with the design of the motor, but I honestly believe the MoCo will step up to address it better than just their Product Program. Yes it's frustrating that it seems to take so long and/or looks to be denied, but this may be case where views from the outside (being us) need to be expressed for those at the MoCo to recognize the problem. Well at least I hope so.

BULLCHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you work for them??
WE all spend mad money on these bikes and they take almost 3 years to come up with a (BAND AID) fix for a major f up.
I love my bike also, but you better not count on the MOCO for any real help, this (BAND AID) will get most out of warranty, then what, we spend money out of our own pocket, ( AGAIN).
Just like GM with the 3100 and 3400 motors, intake gaskets leak early, we fixed em under warranty, then when they go again (AFTER WARRANTY) customer pays.
(IMHO)  A bad   design cant be (BAND AID ) fixed.    
We all better get that through our thick heads.
Just saying

That's why I have a 7-year ESP...will only cost me Fiddy bucks if they go wrong after the factory warranty expires.

I agree with Jacques & Howie. After all who better to be the guinea pigs than a customer who can afford a $30k + bike as a base platform and only to learn that they have to dump a crap pile of money to make it better or get rid of it. I invested in my bike because I beleive in it. I'm dissapointed on how MOCO dealt with it but my dealer kicked in and helped. So far the investment is paying off and my dealer has a loyal customer.

I purchased one also, for the same reason.
Its just a damn shame we have to.

I have the 7yr service too. I am trying to keep a positive thought (at least within my own brain), though I may be disappointed. Looks like I still have 6 1/2 yrs to cover problems. If they continue on a chronic basis before the warranty expires, a replacement ride will probably be in order - May just go back to an EVO and just build it up.

Harley CVO 110 inch issues

Anyone here who owns and rides a 110 inch CVO?

We are hearing of many problems with them and would like to hear your story.

This is under the "Tech & How to" section; Engines; Harley CVO 110 inch issues
http://www.aimag.com/forums/engines/4176-harley-cvo-110-inch-issues.html

If you are so incline, take a few minutes to give them the low down on any 110 motor related problems you have experienced. I posted and told Buzz of the earlier postings on their site from some of us. This may be a chance to actually put some light on the 110 problem that the MoCo will have to acknowledge. FWIW.

FAIM!!! FBK!!! FTF!!! FTW!!!

Donny Peterson told me very early this year that he had determined the cause of the 110 problems and would have several articles out about it but it would be several months because the issues are planned quite a while in advance.  Chit that's been well over 6 or 8 months and I've seen nothing much so I figure by the time AIM finally gets around to getting out the word it will qualify as ancient history, lol.

[elky72ss454]

I love mine too. I have never owned anything that was without problems. I just deal with it or get rid of it and move own. No point in crying about something I have no control over.
