110 CVO Dyno run warning , busted crankshaft 2008 FLHTCUSE 3
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:09:22 AM »

Here are some things some CVO owners mights be interested in .

Had my 2008 CVO with no problems , ran like a dream but changed the exhaust and air filter ( original Screamin Eagle race ) .

The dealer OIT in Breda from the netherlands insisted i have the SE pro tuner and a Dyno run and probably a good idea in general .

So bought the SE tuner and because OIT does not have a Dyno setup they send me to Dynostar in Roosendaal also in the Netherlands .

So far so good but then it went wrong , the did run after run after run because of software issues . The run was 20 % throttle till 1500 rpm , then 30 % till 250 rpm and ...................
The exact percentage end rpm numbers i don't know but he never quit at the rpm's , always ran it till the limiter cut off at 6500 rpm . He set it at 6500 rpm cause factory is set at 5500 rpm i believe .
After the run i left Dynostar and the bike made a "ticking" noise , had the sound as if something came loose during the run .
I'm gonna save you the process of finding out what was wrong but it was the crankshaft , replaced it with a Revolution performance one that i have send over here .

Some lessons to be learned :

Dyno runs should only be performed by Harley mechanic's , head mechanic from American Lifestyle in Antwerp reassembled my engine and was clear about that . They do have the equipment and the knowledge to make safe runs .

OIT and Dynostar never admitted to their mistake ( the mechanic's did but their attorney afterwards denied that ) , better still they want money from me because of the "help" the gave me .

OIT has a great team of mechanic's but their boss is gonna rip you off any chance he gets so would not advice them to anyone .

Sorry to hear about that. It really sucks when you put your faith in someone with your engine and this happen. I hope that it will work out for you.

very sad but instructive story.

At the first European Supertuner course for H-D mechanics 2009 rumor has it they ruined a engine too. Overheated it's said ...

Good luck in court.

Vosselman over there can get it done properly and is very detail oriented
