I have to assume this person is just as clueless as the dealership, if he actually accepted that ignorant response.  I can't wrap my head around the idea of ANYONE of driving age not knowing you don't keep driving or riding with the oil light on.

What was the problem, no oil in the pan or the oil pump quit working?  If it was no oil in the pan, I'll be interested in seeing who winds up having to take responsibility for the repairs.

if the dealer would of told me the oil light on was normal id of done the same thing now they know its broke..so they can put a new motor in it not fix old one that's been running around with no oil pressure id also ask for a 117 upgrade for my trouble too..not sure id go to the same dealer tho..


seriously sorry for those who are having problems I'm hoping all will be sorted out soon

Rode a 17 Road Glide special at the York open house.  First time in a RG....very nice ride, plenty of power and felt smooth and solid.

For me I was impressed with the smooth hum that now comes from the primary side....expressly while deceleration (engine braking).

One odd thing I noticed is that while riding, I pressed the "Information" switch that displays the ambient temperature and oil pressure...... temp said 87 but the oil pressure just said "OK" instead of the actual oil pressure???

Yeah apparently they took that away because the number fluctuated too much and scared people, or it will be a SE upgrade to get that number.      heh.

i was told that HDs reliability numbers are going to improve with the M8, and over the the last 10 years 90% of the 110ci motors made are still on the rode....the other 10% made it home 

[muddypaws]

That's a good one.....

I couldn't believe that when I hit the info button! Steve Cole actually checked the sender, its just an idiot light.
The new motor does not have an oil pressure sender!

That's how you cheapen the product while eliminating all the complaints about hot oil pressure being too low.  Considering they have now dropped the idle speed a couple hundred rpm if I heard right, I wonder if there is any oil pressure at idle for them to measure anyway.  I guess someone needs to screw in a fitting for a real oil pressure gauge and see what's what.

[MrSurly]

Not a new concept. Actual numbers on gauges and even gauges started dissappearing from cars ages ago. Gauges with just hash marks or just oil lights instead of gauges. You can still get them in some but they're gone in most cars. My MINI virtually no actual useful temps or pressures in the Info Center.

I have found that you can get a really inexpensive OBDII plug in widget the will let you see ALL the data displayed on your phone.

While that might work in the event the information is actually available on the bus, in this case, I understand, if you want to see some pressure values it now involves a separate purchase from P & A.

[MrSurly]

Yeah, I was just speaking to the car specifically, cars with OBDII systems (sort of universal, gov't mandated standard). I'm under the impression that MC systems are not forced to use the standard.  The scanner widget for cars is a workaround to see the data. On my Ultra I use a PV for this.

trucks flat shut down with low oil pressure - they start screaming bloody murder -then cut power then shut down - you get about 3/4 mile max - and its off.

I had a minor incident in my Rubicon that pushed the oil pan in against the pick up reducing oil pressure.
Went straight into limp mode.

I notice you're a little tough on equipment.     In LA the people behind you would be honking their horns and flipping you off.

Hope everyone is OK.  Jimmy
