They last forever when you put em in a box.

And they make great paperweights then.

I haven't moved it but I did look and it's still in there.

Not surprised it's still there--they're famous for not running.

After reading this and other posts about the 110 longevity, what else besides replacing lifters would need to be done to extend the life of the motor to 100K miles?

On my 2004 FLHTCSE, I had the Timken bearing upgrade done, switched to gear cams (adj push rods and new lifters) crank was to out of tolerance so went with S&S crank, fueling cam back plate and oil pump. Bike had 69K and ran strong when I sold it.

Would something similar need to be done to the 110?

Ride safe!

My plan, and I am already on my second motor, is to wait until I hit 75k to invest any coin in the motor. If the replacement motor pops again, ESP will cover. Then at 75k the motor is coming out and getting bulletproofed. There are plenty of threads here on bulletproofing the 110. It's crank, valve springs, lifters, etc, all that jazz.

I must be doing something wrong... while I don't get to ride 360 days out of the year, I have still managed to put over 28,000mi on my bike.

The only thing internal that was changed was a performance clutch from Barnett.

The right side front wheel bearing was replace this season.

I had the TTS MasterTune programmed for Hot Weather prior to a trip to Texas and back, and other than running Crusher True Duals with the Tailgunners exhaust pipes... all is Stock.

I've owned, and been riding bikes since '85... and of course this CVO Ultra is by far my favorite from all my other bikes.

Even my Mechanic has told me several times to leave the 110 alone, as the engine was physically built the way it is, to run as it does.  His only recommendation was to ensure the tuning was appropriate, and not necessarily stock.

In my opinion, when stock engines begin to break inside of 10,000mi... something went wrong in the production of that engine.

I just recently visited an HD Engine Production facility and took the tour.  If they do everything they claim to do as described during the tour process... something slipped past them.

40 k Om my 14 SERK . The rod bearing went out. Glad for ESP Saved me 5 grand. MY 07 SERK had the engine qrand trans repaired about 3 time each plus 3 compensator. No compensators on this bike so far. Billy

My 2015 CVO Road Glide got a new motor last month at 18,000 miles. The crank bearings went out, of course, lifters and cams were trashed too. During the teardown, they found the stator bad so replaced it too. The worst part was, when I picked the bike up, they told me it had bad lifters but HD Factory wanted me to ride it to see if it quieted down. Of course it didn't so back into another shop for new lifters--the first engine failed 1200 miles from my home. The bike already had front wheel bearings and new compensator installed. This bike is completely stock and at my age, I ride it easy. The bike is still under factory warranty until the end of this month, then I already have ESP in place.

This is so disappointing!   My last CVO had about 30K and this one is at 20K. Everything stock except exhaust and the basic tune. So far she just runs great!  I have never had a bike die at just low mileage. I hope I don't have that happen now. I expect a lot of miles from this engine.  I have my fingers crossed.

17k. All good. 2014 wethead

[FLTRCVO]

My original motor died at 83,693 miles due to lifter imploding and eating up the engine case and destroying many other internals.

[hotroadking]

Just replaced cam plate and oil pump at 57 low pressure so I checked it both scored badly also sns lifters it now has a tic so I am going to try and fix that.  Plus compensator done at 40. Just did trap door bearings on trans

My 2010 CVO Street Glide has 65000 miles so far.  Not one issue

[OakleyFreak]

I must not be lucky
I have a 2010
I got it with 9600 on the clock now has 17000.
was getting set to do cams, used 1 qt oil about 1000 to 1500 miles
That concerned me
So we tore it down over the weekend, good and bad news
Leak down test was good 7 and 8 %  but valve guides were leaking, and the exhaust valves are white, (Got hot) CCP was 230
It was bone stock with a set of V&H slip ons when i got it
I added a breather system to the Intake and put true duals on it to shed the heat from the cat with a good tune.
also the rubber seals on the intake were like hard plastic, would have been as issue if I kept riding it.
Lots of Carbon on the pistons , prob why the CCP was a little high
Crank run out was 5

So head work, cams and lifters  58mm TB and 5.3 injectors
Will be for a fun Summer 2017
