You guys are terrifying me. I have a 07 springer with 5000 ks and have not done the enhancement at this stage. The centre bolt has the oil weep so far but nothing else.
I'm still trying to work out what light mods are good for this 110 engine without making it a basket case. I live near Melbourne Australia and unfortunately local knowledge
has been a debate between dealerships. My warranty runs out in Sept so the recall will be done prior. This is my first Harley and I love the bike, fingers crossed this one
doesn't become a time bomb.

  If you read all this, they did  the recall 6 different times before the Factory replaced my 2007 engine with a 2009 engine. Make sure they use the latest revision gaskets for the heads, I think it is REV B now.  Also make sure they install the crank bolt correctly. (2 times incorrect on my 2007). Good Luck.... mine is now running perfect!

Thanks Richard,
When you were doing the enhancements (RECALL) did you play with the cams. Would you be able to recommend anything which would work well with the standard compression.
The 3 dealerships that I've spoken with all have their own ideas. I would have to find the paperwork but the one I like so far is a cam change and flow the heads, same pistons,
tuner, high flow filter and slipons. My rig at this stage has the  SE tuner and filter but sadly the dealer ordered the wrong slipons (rush slash downs is what I wanted). Sorry for all of the questions.

Regards,
Brad.

I had so much trouble with the stock engine that all I wanted was a normal running Harley. So I did not think of any modifications at the time.
With the new 2009 engine it runs great with just the V/H pipes. I don't ride around town, just long trips of 400 to 1000 miles a day. I wanted to
keep it close to stock for dependability. Had a 1993 Dyna Lowrider (EVO)that I modified and just prefer stock now.

This makes me glad I bought an '09. I almost bought an '07 a month before I found mine.

[knackers]

Yep fortunate move.  BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoy the 07 so here is hoping that the recall makes her a reliable machine.

I ve got about 3200 miles on my 07, noticed oil weeping from both cylinders today.  I took it into Tampa Harley spoke to the same service adviser who has worked on my 3 other bikes, made him aware of these posts.  He said he had never heard of this problem.  I bought this bike used so my extended warranty is not from Harley, however it was sold to me by Harley.  He said that he wasn't sure if they would fix this, but he thinks he could sell it to them!!!!! Anybody else have similar issues when addressing this problem?  Any suggestions on how to ensure that this problem is resloved the first time?  I ve read some the horror stories above, would like them to get it right the first time!!!

Find another Dealer......Everybody knows the problem.....You need to make sure the air fuel mixture is right. If not....thats what causes the problems.......The Engine gets to Hot.

They should be able to enter your VIN in the system and determine what recalls have/have not been done.

I have 7,000 miles now without a single problem. I did change all three fluids to REDLINE, shifts better, runs cooler.

Engine, trans, and primary.
