From some of the minor issues mine has had with loose this and that and the paint flaws I think they might do the CVOs in the broom closet.

[Sapper6]

The only H-D other than the CVO's that has a hydraulic clutch is the V-Rod, if memory serves me correctly.  And those bikes are built on an assembly line that is set up for that system.  The CVO's, on the other hand, are slapped together in a separate area in the plant that is most likely not equipped with proper evacuate and fill equipment for the clutch.

Brake systems are normally filled in an assembly plant using automated equipment that first draws a vacuum on the system and then pumps fluid in.  When done right, this results in no air in the system and no manual bleeding being necessary.  I'm willing to bet that you won't find that sort of system for the clutch in the area where these CVO's are assembled.

  What Jerry said.

I was trying to say something to that extent, but you have definitely defined it better than I could.

[michaelbmenaker]

Sapper, when do you come back home?

I believe as of Dec/Jan, CVO's have now been integrated into the standard assembly area.  It's believed this will actually improve upon the quality as the CVO's will now go thru all the standard inspections/checks.

I started my bike in gear today. I pulled in the clutch and wired for the light to go off. Then when it turned over the bike tried to roll forward a bit. Sound like I need the clutch bled?

[michaelbmenaker]

Yes. Do it soon. It will get worse.

Sapper, when do you come back home?

next month

[Badger Mike]

Thanks Doc, I'll have to ask my dealer about this.  Still don't understand why my cruise control cuts off every once in a while

[trwtow]

next month

your bike still sitting in michigan?

[Badger Mike]

Never was, I bought it here in WI at Sauk Prairie HD.  I'm having the mods done at Pokerville Ironworks by my home in Madison.  I've got more faith in the owner of Pokerville who is a bike builder by trade.  They've been working on getting the map to where they want it and I should be riding tonight

Oops, sorry

[Old Harley Dude]

Hey, BadgerMike, would like to talk with you about your tuner folks. I am relatively new to Madison and have a 2010 FLHXSE.  Have put a Fullsac header on and CFR cans. I have the TTS and a couple maps from Steve at Fullsac but think the bike should be dynotuned by someone who knows what they are doing.

[dustingaunder]

I know you aren't talking to me, but Steve at Fullsac knows what he is doing.  He is the man.  Those maps you got should be about as good as it gets.

I believe in a dyno tune. Just another man's opinion...
