I recently traded in my 2015 Road Glide on a 2018 CVO Road Glide. My 2015 RG ran and road flawlessly. After taking the new CVO for a test ride, I noticed that the bike was not as stable as my 2015 RG was. I thought because of the front 21" wheel, that it was something that I just needed to get used to.

The other day I took the CVO out for about a 200 mile ride on and off of the highway. Once I got back on the highway, riding about 70 mph, I began to experience more than normal side to side movement on the bike. It felt like the bike was moving under me side to side. After experiencing this, I set the rear shock setting from 7 to 15 and opened all of my vents on the fearing. That still did not make any difference.

On my 2015 RG I was able to take my hands off of the handle bars at 70 mph. On the CVO, if I try to do that, the bike pulls to the left. Right now the CVO has 550 miles on it.

The second issue that I also experienced after this ride was an oiling issue. I contacted my dealer and supposedly new M8 engines have had some oil pump issues.

Has anybody had any of the above issues? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

 

It’s under warranty. Take it to the dealer.

 

My then new '09 FLHP had a tank slapper/wobble if I let go of the handlebars at 35mph. Dealer fixed the problem by telling me not to let go of the handlebars. Take yours to the dealer.

 

First poster and he has two issues. Right. I call BS

 

You are probably correct, OP is in Canada but his bike has 550 "miles" on it. Speeds are also in MPH.

 

That's a good catch on the MPH.

 

 

 

I traded a 2016 for 2018 and the wobble will shake my mirrors loose
