From what I understand this is not a revised motor, same part # as original 110 motor no A on the part #.

I know the flywheel has been modified in the new motors shipped in the last 3+ weeks. Placing an A after the part number for the entire motor would create a possible class action against the Motor Company, an admission of guilt of sorts, for creating a  motor that didn't measure up, thus, required replacement during the original 2 year CVO warranty. I can see modifications of internal parts being marked A. Make sure they stamp your original VIN on the new motor.

Just my opinion

They have to stamp the VIN # at the factory.  And yes it was done.  Will be curious to see the new motor.

Alright I'm now getting a little freaked out with all this talk of replacement motors. I bought my 2007 FXSTSSE in Nov of 06 I only have a little over 2000 miles and the only mods are the sert, Rinehart 2 into 1 exhaust and S&S single bore intake and knock on wood I have had no problems. When do you get these problems? Do I not have enough miles yet? Or do I need to drive longer distances? My first year of warranty is almost up and I'm wondering now if I should have the dealer test something, problem is I dont know what to have them test for and I dont want to look like an idiot and say I heard you had to replace alot of early 110 motors and I know mine is one just havent had the problems yet but can you check it anyway.

Not to scare you the baggers have had gasket problems, o-ring problems, flywheel run out problems, rocker clearance problems, fuel guage problems, and speedo problems just to name a few issues with the 110.

Don't forget the tranny noise and excessive heat, although all of the 2007+ customers get to share that.

I'd start looking at the rear head gasket now so you know what it looks like before it leaks.  It's just visisble as a slight brown discoloration on the rear gasket neat the exhaust port.  That's why I think there are many more out there leaking but do not know it yet.

Now is the time to decide if you want to get the extended warranty or not.

That is probably very good advice, even for someone like myself who has always refused to pay extra for a service contract.  If I was in this situation, however, I would do some research to determine if there are other reputable companies  selling service contracts besides H-D.  It's bad enough that H-D has put this POS on the market and left the customers to deal with the fallout, but as far as I'm concerned it would be criminal to give those clowns even one more dollar in profit to insure against THEIR failures.  JMHO

Huzzah Jerry! Huzzah!  I am beating mine like a red-headed step child, even when I break it, I will not even bother with HD shop warranty...How much to ship a 110 to and from WPB, Fl?

Thanks for the info I heard of some heat problems but nothing this bad. Thank God my wife made me get the extended warranty.

Got the bike back yesterday afternoon.  Went out and seated the rings and then went for a ride, this motor is very quiet NO top end noise.  Only did about 60 mile and the oil temp only got up to 230 so seem cooler.

Magoo,

Forgive for aasking the obvious........... I see in your sig line that your 2006 Cuse is gone and you now have an 08, is this new engine for the 2008 model??

Rob

[mr_magoo]

Yes the new engine went in the 08.

[Copper/Black Cvo]

It's Intersting reading threw this thread...

[mr_magoo]

Back from a few hundred mile ride and this thing is still so quiet and has good oil pressure.  Was rainy so never got warm.  Seem like a very strong stock motor.

[Mr. We]

Great to hear this good news that the new engine is seemingly a better version.
