"Vice President Operational Excellence and Techncal Service"    WTF, where has he been for the last two years !!  Did Harley just create another layer of management for this website. It must be a intern position.    Doc

Where did that come from Doc? I couldn't find who you were quoting.

Nice title if you can get it.

Is this "Improvement Campaign" required to be done by the dealer, or at the dealers discretion?

The letter is written in a way that the dealer has actually no choice. However, they may try to push you into off season, like "We can take care of that in the winter".

 How do you get a copy of this "letter"  Thanks, Dean.

When will Harley send me the letter? Or, do you have to call Harley.  Thanks,  Dean.

If you tell the service manager at the dealership you are already aware of the enhancement program they should get you in.  My local dealer already has the parts and called me to schedule the work. 

If you go to Harley website and put your vin# in  as has been said in an earlier post then it will tell you what campaign you are in.  You should not need a letter this should be sufficient for the dealer.

I just thought you all might like to know I got the updates performed last week. Picked up the bike on Friday and went back to the dealer on Saturday to plan another visit to the shop. Upper end noise at between 2500 and 3000 rpm's (ticking sound). I just to not think they know what is going on inside these 110 motors. Mind got the new heads in the update 0905. It sounds like pushrod to rocker arm clearence.

Could it be the automatic chain tensioner just being a bit off? The noise at these revs speaks for that ...

Going back over a year with the rocker box noise.  Regarding the 07's, some did, some didn't I believe it was determined that there was enough play in the mounting holes to cause the noise if moved all the way in one direction and no noise if moved the other way.
So if your rockers boxes were never clearanced and then removed and replaced in this program, you may now have the clearance issue because of the way the tech installed them.  HD redesigned the rocker boxes to eliminate this issue, but noy included in any program.
No one knew thse top ends would be on and off more times than the light switch in your bathroom.

I will try driving it a couple of days before the appointment and see if the noise goes away. I thank you for your answer. Didn't think of that, was just upset with another problem.

I guess the following would be somewhat correct. I'm not sure the part numbers are right as I have had this work completed two times and each time they tell me the parts have been up-graded by the motor company. Now I am in receipt of a letter for the replacement of  all of these item again with the new and improved version including the heads and Crank bolt....Again with the new up-graded version........Ho-hum

I stopped by the dealer today. As usual it was around closing time so most everyone had gone. I spoke to the mechanic about 0905 and what was entailed then spoke to the service writer. This is where it gets interesting. She told me that I needed go get "on the list" (literally) in order for them to order the parts for me. These parts were only coming one set at a time. There were five people ahead of me on the "list". The first set had not yet come in and after the first bike was complete they could order the next set. The sets were both 0905 and 0906. So whether it was gaskets and heads (0905) or just gaskets (0906) everyone was on the same "waiting" list. I guess I should be thankful I didn't need it done in a hurry!
