Hi all. 
I just read an article in the American Iron magazine the addressed 09' CVO 110s having issues with over heating due to rear head gasket
blowing out. They claim HD knew about the issue while in production. The author states the compression ratio is to low at 9:3:1.

Any truth to this? I know there were issues a couple years ago. Is there (already) a thread on this this topic in the forum?

Thanks in advance.

At least it's not "isearch" or "iread."


ibrowse, assuming you're on the up and up here just browse the site a little.  You will find (literally) hundreds of pages and thousands of posts dealing with the various failures of the 110s.  Everything from crooked cranks at the bottom to friend ACRs on top and problems everywhere else in between.  Hope your chair is comfortable.  You'll be reading for a bit.

What? Problems with 110's? How come nobody told me about that?

Welcome aboard, and yes loads!

Hoist!

Nice! Yes, I do read and do search... Hence, the question. 
Anyway, I do intend on posting a new member post soon. I was just in a bit of a hurry and
wanted to float the topic to you kind folks.

Thanks for the replies that will help.

ibrowse,
             We're not supposed to pick on any member with less than 50 posts (newbie) so if I pushed your buttons, my apologies.

Welcome to the site. You'll get to know us and be glad your here after a bit. And the gatherings are incredible.

I also read that little sidebar in American Iron, and I truly believe it was written after a long evening of heavy imbibing of alcoholic beverages.  Compression ratio too low???  Excuse me, someone will need to 'splain how the recommended 10.5:1 ratio would run cooler than the stock 9.3:1 ratio.  Now, if they had said something about a different cam and different ignition timing maybe, assuming it would still meet emissions regulations.

Oh Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the site!! Great running machine if you can keep it out of the shop!!!!!!!!!

DESERTBEAR54...

What are the issues? Why are they going back to the shop?

[Hugh Janis]

the 110 simply hasn't been around long enough to determine long term reliability.  I've heard of a member or two here with 40,000 or there abouts.  I don't think anyone with that many miles did it without incidence.  There are a lot of members in the same boat as me, two seasons, just over 10,000 miles with no problems at all.  There was some finger pointing early on that perhaps the failures were due to performance enhancements.  That has since been proven false.

New Heads & Gaskets on certain serialized bikes,ACR's not relleasing on start,Running Hot out of the factory unless you install a SERT and different pipes.All in All a Great Motorcycle but you have to do some mod's to improve performance of bike. Some people on this site go even farther on mod's but I have had good success with what I have done but I am having start issues now and am getting ready to take it in again to have it troubleshooted one more time to determine what is causing the start problem.
