Good advice, Kojak.
I did just that - just brought home a new 2019 Ultra Limited (silver flux).
2014 SERK seems to "ate itself". Lower end issues.

My 2011 lost the crank and required a rebuild. This was back in 2012.
It was under factory at that time. The shop gave me a little crap about not running Harley oil. I explained what Magnuson–Moss was and they stopped giving me chit. LOL
They fixed the bike, but I never rode it again.
I traded it for a new one before the repairs where complete.
I just did not feel like dealing with it after that. It may have went 100 miles or 100,000 before it broke again. I just did not want to deal with it.
Some will say as long as its under warranty, keep it. Makes perfect sense for some. Just not me, I want the bike running and want to feel safe on long trips. With a bike that failed once on me, I can no longer do that.
I know some will say that they can all fail at one point or another. I do understand that, and it is a valid point.
It's just in my head, once it fails on me, I can no longer ride it feeling safe.
Just my thoughts on this.
There are reasons to keep and reasons to not keep.
We can offer all the advice in the world, in the end it will be how you feel about it.
Good luck no matter what you decide.

Congrats my man! Still loving my 2017 cvo limited. Just had my 10k service couple of months ago, zero issues.

Hi guys I know I started this thread, so here is the end of the story. I rode it for a bit but traded it in on a New  2019 CVO. I got a more than fair trade from my dealer while other dealers weren’t so eager to take it. I shopped for Non-CVO modeled but they just came up short. I was able to work the deal at my home dealership and at the same payment amount.
This new 2019 CVO is amazing, Ride Quality  and comfort surpasses the 2015

Nice Bike, congratulations! Glad to see your still on Harley and didn't jump to whatever those other things are.

     Did I miss something. I really wanted to know what the original engine failure was or what may have caused it.

I took it in for its 30k mile service at 29400 on the Odom. Up to this point this bike had been flawless and I had services done every 5k Miles. Bike was stock except for Fulsac cores and handlebars. It has been my daily commuter and we have made quite a few long adventures with it.
Shortly after the service I began hearing noises in the Cam Compartment. It sounded like a rattle can and rusty gate. I figured it was going to be a bad lifter. As it turned out it was a bad lifter, a broken chain tensioner and metal inside the Cam Compartment. The bike was repaired with the addition of an upgraded oil pump, Cam plate and bearings. Bike sounded great when I got it back and off we went on a 2800 mile journey. About 1000 Miles into the ride. I began hearing a leaked down lifter every morning. We finished the ride and I took it back to my dealer for evaluation. This time they had a peak at the valve train as well. They found broken valve guides debris in the lifter bores which scored the bored and actually caused the lifter to stick. The dealer recommended a new Long Block and it was replaced. Bike is running very well. However I did trade for a new one.
