Hi, 2003 Road King CVO 100,000 mi slight ticking at first, then within a minute much louder , shut it down, no metal in the cam case, I had installed new Feuling hydraulic tensioners already ,any ideas ??

I got my bike back a couple days ago. I checked the service work and they replaced the lifters, SE 255 cam, cam bearings, chain tensioner, oil pump, fuel injectors, gaskets oil etc. $3300. but good thing I had the 2 year extended warranty. I feel te Stealershp knew what they were doing when they sold me the bike, and the previous owne might also know it was going bad. But I swear i did  check of the bike after going on test ride and there were no issues. I do most of the maintenance and service on my bikes but that would have been a major job that is beyond my knowledge. Now I can start to add my personalization starting with slip ons, I can't tell what brand they are but they don't sound as good as my CFRS I had on my traded in 09 SG

Gawdammit Pete.  Now I'll never be able to unsee that or think of Debby Harry the same way ever again.  Knew there was a reason we overthrew the British...

.

They pushed for extended warranty because they make MONEY off the sale and repairs done under the warranty. Nothing in his orignal posting to indicate the dealership did anything wrong but everyone here instantly decides that a known problem was the dealerships fault.

I traded my 09 in, a dealer employee bought It the same day. The front lifter failed the next week. How was that anyone's fault?

... and we already lost Meatloaf back in '22   

Long live Bacon.   

I’ve been waiting for a good price break to replace my old Shoei J-cruise helmet with the latest version.
I was also curious about how well a full face version would work for me.

I found a Shoei Neotec on deep discount at cyclegear and made the deal. They have a 30 day return policy and I’ll switch my headset over and see how the new to me full face works. The color is the same as my old one and kind of matches my bike.

For some reason the Shoei is the only one that fits my head and is an all day comfort helmet.
I’ll do a long ride today to make sure everything works as it should.
