Gents:

Since the 2007 recall parts were put in place, I have found the bike to run extremely well.   Now I did have it properly tuned, red line, monster ovals which I think help with the heat just a bit due to no catalytic converter, etc.

I was reading another post on 2007 SERK issues - what have you run into.   Of course, most of those had to do with the recall.  Just curious, what have people run into (problem wise or not) after the recall / parts were done?
 
Hope this is not a duplicate post.   Didnt see one like it.  Trying to anticipate.   

To note, I've got 7,000 trouble free and quite frankly really enjoyable miles     Headed up through Southern California today.  May see some of you on the way.

Thanks

I will say that around 6000km I did in fact find the dreaded leak and Halrey did in fact replace a few things with the recall. Since then I have put on about 8000km and it runs excellent. There are many threads out there with many disgruntled people that have issues. I threw on a SERT, Rinehart 2into1 and a heavy breather. I am getting 93HP and 116Torque. I have taken it down from Calgary, Alberta to Las Vegas and back. My tuner has the bike running excellent and I have no issues even without the oil cooler debate.

I love the bike, love the engine and all is good. Harley has always stepped up to the plate and fixed any minor issues and I am very pleased with them.

Yeah, I have to admit once the "upgrades" were done, fuel pack installed, asked shop to ensure it ran just a little rich verysus lean, monster ovals put on, K&N filter and red line ... shes really running great.  Only have 2,000 miles on it since the above changes though.  But real nice, feels very solid.  Good to hear.  Thanks for the heads up ...

Still all the bad noises in the engine and waiting for the crank to go, but for the moment no oil leaks since the recall performance enhancement.

18K miles SINCE the recall install and head gaskets are fine, but since then have had to replace the Base gasket, starter clutch, inner primary bearing, primary chain, and compensator. Still makes lots of noise and base gasket is weeping again. 37K total mikes

Gecko ... Trapper dog, can you describe the noises ?

Let's see...."tap tap tap tap tap tap ti-ti-tap tap tap tap tap tap ti-ti-ti-ti-tap" (that's the top end), and "konk klonk klonk klonk klonk klonk" (that's either the pistons hitting the cylinder walls, the compensator, the crank, or the result of getting the bike wet, nobody knows for sure).  I've had the 2800 rpm knocking since new and a top end that sounds like a Shovel since about new.  See nearly every post by Hoist! regarding how to fix them

Ditto that. Much louder under load assending. Still going strong though, tap tap tap knock knock on wood.

I am a newbie here...  I am sorry if this question was asked 100 times.

Was this recall on all 110 CU IN engines or specifically the 07 SERK?  Were all the engines recalled or just a fabrication date range?  If a motorcycle is beyond the warranty and the recall has not been done, will a dealer perform the recall at no cost?

[SERK3]

The recall (enhancement) was for all 110's, you should have received letter from the MOCO, warranty has nothing to do with it, we have 2 years to have it done and think it runs out Aug. 2010. I have not had the recall done to mine yet, might wait until this winter when the shop is not busy to take mine in.

I had the engine enhancement work done today.  I had 3000 miles and it did not show any leaks yet.  They replaced the head gasket and a TC filter element (Dont know where that is.. ).  All that work was done at no charge to me but they also found a nail in my rear tire so I did not get out of there without shedding a few $100 bills.

Anyway, I love the bike and hope to ride without issues for a long time.

Should have kept my mouth shut, in the shop now.
