I took mine in yesterday evening for the recall, a balmy 36 degree ride.  My dealer told me a couple months ago that he'd call me when they got some more kits in.  Nothing.  Last weekend I was in and asked if they got any in....three.  With few bikes in for service this time of year you'd think they would at least want a little warranty work.

Grinding out the rocker boxes didn't help mine; that was done long ago and the noise has become "normal".  With revenues falling customer service from the MOCO will only get worse.

Does this bulletin cover all the upgrades for the 07/08 110 or is there another bulletin with more stuff on?

Nige

Hey Nige, how ya doing? That Bulletin describes running changes they made to the 110's. They do not necessarily represent what they're doing to existing motors. Some of those items are included in the 0905/0906 Enhancements. You're not getting free new rocker boxes and gaskets or new heads. For the SERK, it's HG's, BG's, ACR's, and center bolt. As far as I know, that's all the SERK's get. Based on this, I agree with others here, if yours ain't broke, don't fix it. Ya got 2 years. Wait til it breaks/leaks again. It will!

Hey Howie - I'm doin just darn tootin thank you very much.

I was interested to see what the full upgrade was supposed to be according to my Yankee chums. The stealership phoned me a couple of weeks ago to say that my bike had a recall on it. I asked what they were going to do and they said "change the gaskets" and nothing else! This kind of got me a little worked up anyway as they had already "changed the gaskets" following my leak at about 4,000 miles. I wonder why they didn't mention the other things that you have said above?

Bike performed great during it's 8,500 mile extravaganzy and you are right in saying that "If it ain't broke don't fix it". That was my intention anyway.

It would be nice to have a printed letter from the MoCo to fling in front of them regarding the other upgrades. I guess I need the SERK specific upgrade notice.

I surely will! And you do the same with Jan please!

You should bring this in. And taking a closer look, no BG's either! Actually, you should have gotten a letter from the factory. Believe it or not, even I got one. Yeah, like I'll be doing any of it! FTF!!!

Well TY kind sir  just what I was looking for.

I'm not sure what you mean by the last bit - have you altered your bike outside of factory specifications in some way?

Not at all Nige! I maintain much higher standards than they do, and exceed all of their specifications!

I got a call from my dealer yesterday,my 08 cvo glide duracell went in for the recall on Monday, and they say that part of the recall is to check the barrells and mine needs new ones.The only problem is that the parts are on back order and they cant give me a time scale but they think about 8 weeks and I cant have the bike as the engine is in bits.I am so glad that i waited for the season to come to an end and I am not missing any days riding.
Hey John,
How many miles did you have on your duracell when she went in?

Jazz

8 weeks! That's insane! HD should just buy relabeled motors from a reputable builder. If the Government had used my economic plan and had given us the 480 billion dollars, I would have gladly bought you a new motor, that's economic stimulus, not giving it to the crooks who caused the problem. Oh Well, I know it's gonna bother ya them having your bike. Hopefully you will get it back without left over parts.

Nige,

Try printing out the two attachments I'm about to post, they have a full list of parts and part numbers for the 2 different "enhancement" programs.

The mileage was 3700 when it went in for the recall. I have since spoke to Customer Services who have chased it up for me and the parts will leave Europe next Wednesday and arrive at the dealers 2 days later,so hopefully the following week the bike should be ready for me. 

The question is do I let them bring it back to me in their van or should I go and get it myself and give it a good run to see if there are any issues with the engine, its a 200 mile round trip to the dealers.

John,
I had just over 5000 on the clock when my duracell went in for the fix.  I had no leaks or any problems before, and no leaks or problems now. I have done about 250 miles since the fix and all seems OK, although I have experienced that ticking sound from the top end that some of the guys have mentioned.  I put that down to a bit of bedding in!  I also got those Monster Ovals fitted that you recommended, and they are awsome!

Go get the bike and ride, it's only hundred miles back to the house, should be a nice ride for ya, and you can get a few miles on the motor, and don't forget your cell phone just in case.

Thanks Jerry - always good to have more ammunition information than the enemy.
