When I dropped the syn3 to Mobil 1 oil temp dropped 10 degress, that is it so far...and I'll take it for now..

[ragrep]

I went for 100 mile ride today- air temps were around 65-70 degrees - very average riding- but a few spots of stop & go traffic for 10 minutes waiting ect to cycle through the lights-  a few times and the bike went in to EITMS mode- if these 110's run that hot in these conditions, I cant begin to think what will happen this summer.

I have been stuck down here in heavy traffic, 95 degress plus ..the etms thingie seems to work, my ridn bud that day had his tc88 shut down and it had a parade fan...

[ragrep]

yeah, I heard those fans are useless. I had a 95" build in my FLHX and it used to shut down after 15-20 min of parade stop & go- just didnt think it kick in so soon on the 110-

if you dont feather the throttle right the and its in the EITMS mode- it just flat stalls out and have to restart. I found myself just shutting off the bike during red lights but- that cant be too good for starter life. I am beginning to think I need the ext-warranty.

This 09 is the 1st one I bought one for...try Jenni at tricounty.  Mention the site..

[ragrep]

what did you pay for the warranty?

[miker]

17 n change with tire, I think, I do not have the bike today, I'll check and post later...
They were the cheapest by a bit and Jenni is righteous.

i have the fan on mine - if the temp sensor is not close enough to the head the blasted thing will never come on. for instance if you have a se air cleaner it wont hold the temp sensor close enough to ever come on... found this out with my 88. - had to make a spacer to hold the sensor close to the head.

on my 96" with a police air cleaner it holds the sensor about 1/16" from the head and the fan does come on and stays on when its hot - cools the engine right down.

it would be much better if the computer would turn the fan on rather than a seperate sensor - but in the absense you have to pay careful attention to keep the sensor close enough to the head.

Just remember these 110's don't seriously get broke in till about 20,000 miles. It has taken a 1 1/2 to get my 08 SEUC running like a champ and 28,000 miles later a true joy to ride!! It is that Love/Hate relationship with Mother Harley!!

I bought my 09 SERG in November in Tucson Arizona, didn't notice any overheating because...it was cool temperatures, went to Daytona bike week in April, felt like a "chicken in a Broiler" Immediately installed a SERT and had it dynoed, the temperature went way down, had to wait untill late April for Thunderheader to make the exhaust for the new frame configuration (with falsee pipe), it was well worth waiting for, I installed new gear drive cams and this bike runs cool and will "fly like an Eagle" now!

Thats the problem people dont want to believe that the factory makes them run so lean to pass EPA they run a little hot. Put pipes a fuel management system and hi flow air cleaner, and also a good synthetic oil and that 110 will run grat for you, I am niw at 6000 miles getting 40+ MPG and no problems .
Love the 110

All some one has to do is spend $40.00 bucks for a single pass Dyno run, no tune to see the 14.7 AFR and how lean the bikes runs.
  Plus the  80 hp (maybe) and 105 ft-lbs (maybe)

when I did my TTS Mastertune, during the V-tune process, the temps ran upwards of 280. After I loaded the final map, the temps dropped dramatically. well within Normal range

How hard is it to do the V-tune process?  I have the TTS Master Tune tuner.  Can the V-tune be added?

I am running a map Fullsac set up right now, for no cat, and Fullsac baffels with the heavy breather.
I know it runs much cooler than stock now, and stronger.

Mike,
To my knowledge there has seldom been any overheating on the Softail or Dyna CVO's. That was usually limited to the Touring bikes, mostly the E-Glides. If your bike is running that hot, you have a mechanical problem there. You should probably try to get a second opinion from another dealer in your area.

Ride safely,
Louis

Mike What state do you live in. I'm from CA.just had my head pipes changed and the bike runs a lot cooler.

Timo what type of fan do you have on your bike? is it the harley parade module or an after market ? thanks
