Even more concerning is what about customers who aren’t even aware of sumping if their bike comes out if warranty & sump? W/ the MoCo knowing the issues exist & they’ve made changes to prevent it, are they still really going to charge customers for major engine work repairs or a new motor if necessary?
I say no & yes.
Gonna be interesting. We we live in interesting times, eh?

GUARANTEED. May not matter to those doing an aftermarket oil pump install but no one should go into the installation of a 3rd party drivetrain component wihout being full aware that the HD factory warranty and ESP on the drivetrain will most definitely be voided.

This is what Jamie at FuelMoto says:
“Stock cam plate & pump removed. Note cam, lifters & pushrods are in place. You do not need to remove them, this bike already has an upgraded cam bearing & components.
“
I don’t always agree with Jamie, but I imagine he has done this enough with good results to make this recommendation. Besides, a picture is worth a thousand words.
That said, you need to note that he says that the bike already has upgraded cam bearing and components. That probably means lifters and pushrods. I would say it depends on how far you want to go and what you are able to spend. If you don’t have the tools to change the cam bearing then you will probably be better off not pulling the cam.
He also doesn’t say whether the pressure on the cam has been relieved by collapsing the pushrods. If you have adjustable pushrods in place that would be a good step to take, I would anyway.
