So Chip... What prompted you to buy another 110?
Good question.
Some may think I was trading one 110 problem for another.
On a site with 14K plus members I think there are very few (less than 10 I guess) that have put 50K miles on their 09 110.
Putting on as many miles as I did a year really test the reliability of a motor. My 09 SEUC was down for 9 days out of 870 due to 110 issues.
There were two main issues with my 110, lifters and a valve guide issue. I believe the valve guide slipping caused the lifter issue.
I also think and
hope that will not be a concern on the 2011.
What prompted you to buy another 110?
No matter how upset I was at the Motor Company, my dealer, Harley Davidson of Charlotte
always made things right. I didn't just buy another 110, I bought another 110 from H-D of Charlotte. And for the next two years they will take care of me just like in the past. I may complain about this new one but my dealer always steps up and takes care of any issue.
To me that reason is the strongest reason for buying a new SE to me.
Maybe I'm lucky to have such a good dealer but they were good before I came along.
So in two years and 40K miles from now I may buy another or I may not.
