On April 22, 2008 I talked with Bob Dwyer / Rusty, here is one of the statements he made "your bike will have the new 07B Head Gasket which was tested for months and has been in production for a couple of weeks, this will end your Head Gasket leak problem". Bob Dwyer was in conference with the Chief Technician while making the statement. I am stating what the man told me. Any problem with the statement made by Bob Dwyer should be directed to Bob Dwyer Harley Davidson Supervisor 1-414-343-4056. I, as usual have to wait and see.

Hummm....... Why do I have the urge to get the vasoline?  I sure hope there's some truth here about taking care of the head gasket problem! Ok, let me hold my breath. Personally, I can't complain .  .  .  yet! My scooter is all good for now, for now, for now, for now, for now....

I believe that there is something more than the head gasket-I took my 07 SERK in for that leak and they replaced the whole top end-I am glad that Harley apparently knows about the problem-they should recall the 110 engines that are in question.  My bike did not start leaking till I had 9000 miles on it.  A lot of people that do not ride there bikes much-may not have a problem until the warranty is up on the bike.  These are just my thoughts about the leaking problem.  I only have about 1000 miles on my bike after the repairs and no leaks yet.

Of course there is more than a gasket problem with the 07 CVO's. Flywheels, Cylinder Liner Slippage, and the 3rd Generation Head Gasket(07B).

Fortunately none of those woes have visited the '07 SERK here since bringing it home almost 18 months ago and I've ridden it like my sport bikes.  Zero problems/issues.

That's great to hear. It is comforting that not everyone has had to deal with the problems. 

How about getting out there and making another movie for us?

Will do so!  BTW, Met an '07 SEEG rider today at a lunch place and asked him if he'd had any problems.  None was the response.

Did he mention how many miles he had on the bike?

I'm at 10K on my 07 with no apparent issues. I did have to deal with two warranty items - the tach/speedo and some faulty chrome on the cluth cover. Other than that, no issues and I too tend to ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet.

[Serkcus]

IMHO if it ain't leaking, your not riding it right.

110mofo, to bring you up to date on this failure.  As you probably know, the bike was trailered to Victorville HD.  The crank sensor was shredded and we all know what that means, "crank run-out".  Victorville took one look and ordered a complete new engine for Walt.  That was on a Friday; by the following Saturday he had a new engine and took the bike home, a very quick turn around.  BTW, the new engine has the new composite head gasket installed from the factory. 

I think Harley is getting ramped up for "volume engine replacement" on the 110.  Walt is the third bike of my close friends to get a new motor.  The rest of us have all had at least the head gasket scenario problems.  I wonder if Harley has simply planned for at least two engines for every 110 CVO sold.  It's plausible since the MSRP is high enough to cover two engines per bike.  Hang on to your extended warranty!

I have been wondering about going there, because you lose the first two years of the extended warranty.
