I posted a heads up on a Harley Facebook group. Wow, you'd think I kicked their dog or something. All I said was to keep an eye on the fluid levels and people assumed I was a troll and just looking to cause issues. I finally deleted by FB post. No good deed goes unpunished.

 

The issue is, at least for me, nothing else out there calls my name... I got the Triumph Thruxton R and that is one bike that I had been waiting for a long time to own... but I also want to keep a Harley next to the Thruxton... and I love the looks and feel of the new Harley... but not like this...

I want that problem fixed... everything about the new bikes and the M8 is great... if they can fix this issue everything will be golden...

My Slim S will keep me happy for now... but only because of my concern with this problem in the M8... had I not seen this thread, I would have started negotiating with my local dealer...

 

What FB group? I posted some comments on the M8 Nation page and a couple asshats tried talking trash, but I just handed it right back to them.

 

The Street Glide, Road Glide, Road king group. Some people can't take anything at face value. I posted nothing negative, just a heads up to help someone prevent an issue. Oh well.

 

How? What is different between M8 and my 2016, for example, that causes this problem to be more prominent?

 

If attitudes were only worth a penny apiece Faceless Book would STILL be the world's richest business. I quit that thing a year ago and haven't missed it one bit. All the bickering over the last election did it for me. There's a lot of courage out there when you are guaranteed anonymity.

 

Have any of you that are having this issue called the local news? Usually they have a consumer advocate piece that they play to help people with issues. Here in LA there is a guy named Randy Mac

This would get the word out.

 

I can't fault anyone for buying a Honda Goldwing.

Three years ago this December, my then 88 year old FIL decided after two knee replacements and a heart attack that he was going to stop riding. He offered me his 2006 Goldwing. I was a little skeptical on whether I would like the bike or not, so I took an extended test ride down to Florida on an overnight visit to some cousins.

I can't say enough good about the power and handling of this bike. In almost twelve hundred miles it never missed a beat. The creature comforts were exceptional as well. The GPS, stereo and CB worked perfectly. The heated seats and grips, plus the adjustable windshield made the ride in the chilly morning air oh so pleasant. The gas mileage wasn't bad; averaging in the high 30's.

I was so impressed by this machine I decided I wanted my whole family to be able to share in the experience.....so I bought a Subaru Outback.

 

 

Makes no sense to me. I paid good money for a machine that I am noticing a bit of a problem with and will verify here shortly with a fluids change. Maybe I'm different, but I expect/demand the best for my $$$ and if they can't get it right then I will my my $$$ elsewhere.
