Just went to the ca. consumer affairs web site and according to them it would  be less than $1000.00 depreciation because they start depreciation from the point at which the first repair was made, and for me that would be 3000 miles.  Question is what would you really gain from it .... another bike with the exact same motor.

Lemon Law's not the answer. Forcing them to fix it properly is. That means Class Action Lawsuit. See thread on it in TC Section and sign up. :2vrolijk_21:

I'm not totally familiar with California's lemon law, but if it is like most other states it only applies to safety items or items essential to the purpose of the product.  For instance, a vehicle is expected to be able to transport you under it's own power.  So my question is, would a gasket seepage issue qualify under the law?  If it became bad enough to compromise safety or useability I would say definitely yes.  But what if it just seeps/leaks?   :nixweiss:

Regardless, I would suggest that anyone with this issue fully document it in writing with the MoCo, copy to state and local consumer protection agencies.  While we would all hope they eventually get off their duff and come up with a permanent fix, there's no guarantee they actually will.  It may very well come down to lawsuits, and having everything fully documented can only help your cause.

That's exactly why I started this http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=16060.0 To start documenting a history of everyone's promlems associated with this. We can get it all documented all in one place. If not, you guys will surely be left on your own to deal with it! I hope ya'll ain't chicken! ;)

At my dealer today hoping to get my jester back (tomorrow morning will be buttoned up) after repair for leaking head gasket - 2nd time.  SM said cylinder & sleeve had seperated and this is what caused failure both times. First replacement cylinder was pulled from a 110 upgrade kit they had in stock in effort to speed first repair.   He suspects that this kit was probably mfg last fall or early this year and that there was a bad batch / problem with the cylinders that maybe (hopefully) has been resolved and this may fix it.

Sounds good but has anyone else been told this?

Do you know the part number of the replacement cylinder?

Normal, like my old shovel...I was able to reduce the "normal" oil leaks by driving regularly on dirt roads and packing the cranky bitch with dirt...
