Engine Failure
« on: May 31, 2016, 02:46:41 AM »
So.... at 7500 miles my bike took a crap. Called AAA and had it towed to the stealership.
Diagnosis: Oil pump failure/ lifter seizure

They're replacing the motor....but why do I have a good feeling that this is just going to happen again? Anyone else had engine issues?

Welcome to the club.  I've had three total engine failures: 2 on my '07 and 1 on my '12 due to lifters  and cam bearings.  Only 'good' thing is the failures trash the engines to such a degree that the moco and ESP have ponied up with brand new ones.  So all is good - well until the next failure!   :'(

It happens. The metal travels. Hopefully the dealer does a deep dive cleaning the system including the oil pan and cooler. Then the lifters become a PM item at 10k intervals. It would be smart to move up to a better lifter and adjustable pushrods with this new motor if the dealer will allow substitutes.

How about substituting a S&S 124?

At 300 miles I removed OE lifters and replaced with S&S Premium and change cams and bearings. So far so good. (fingers crossed)
