4410 miles in my 2-week trip and I've now joined the leakers club on engine number 2. 

And there's some VERY nasty noise when cold somewhere in the valve gear....

I'm assured that there are to be recall notices sent out for all 110s shortly though.  Anyone heard about it?

Jim, we've been beating that horse over here for quite some time now. We keep checking our mail boxes, but nothing yet.

What I was told - and supposedly this came from the horse's mouth - is that recall letters would go out shortly, once the dealers had been issued with sufficient kits to to the bikes.  And they were specific that it was imminent.

That's the same story we've heard over here too, but it isn't happening as quickly as it was first described it would happen. So, we wait.

Originally I was told parts to dealers first and second week of June and letters to follow.

[Gecko]

Yep, and everyone's getting 25% of their purchase price back for the trouble.  It ain't happening.

Jim,

Too bad - you are now on your second leaking motor.

Hopefully will hear something after the dealer meeting next week.

It is very discouraging to hear all these problems with the 110's. I was wondering if anyone knows if there was any difference in the model years. Is a 2007 more likely to leak than a 2008? any Ideas? KB

For the most part, yes. There is a rumored running change for the cylinders, but nothing for certain.

Don't you think that if the parts were indeed sent to the dealers before the letters, that we would know about it? I mean, some of us are pretty close to out dealers and someone would spill the beans once the parts arrived.

[gunrunner]

Might the new bike model year be tied to the fix, and thats why their waiting?

[Twolanerider]

For the most part, yes. There is a rumored running change for the cylinders, but nothing for certain.

That rumor is so very (very very) doubtful without a revised part number though.  Without the distinguising part number most local parts counters will never be able to distinguish between old and new stock.  Such is a recipe for inadvertent future problem that even the MoCo knows better than to accept.

Either the parts didn't make it, or the dealers are REALLY good at keeping secrets.

I agree totally. I'm just too lazy to call the dealer and see what the current number is for the cylinders.

2007 or 2008 ! I think it's same !
The last WE, I was with my chapter for a trip in Switzerland.
In our chapter, we are three members with CUSE3 delivered in February and March 2008.
The first leaking had 6000 miles.
Now, I've 3700 miles with mine and I wait the fateful leak.
