Naples / Ft Myers HD. Same dealer, two locations. Bike has been worked on at both locations.

 

RM I know what your saying,Ive been there,Im in the same situation as you.HD has put my case under some special heading and will not speak w/me.I havent tried in months and dont plan on it.My bike is still the same as when they tested it,it still clatters and I dont enjoy it.These bike tuning has to be exact to work as an older model did.That means every sensor has to be doing its job.There is just no room for error.Harmonics is causing your noise and mine.The exh system isnt helping this nor is the amount of overlap these cams have.Add heat and a poor tune to this and our bikes are a mess.Why some bikes dont have this is odd but maybe they have a better overall tune,or sensors working in unison.Stockish bikes have the best chance at this noise.

 

Check this out. Now the cat is out of the bag. No changes to the 2008 tranny. My a$$

Your link is invalid.

 

Got the 2008 touring model catalog in my hands and quickly went through a comparison of engine/gearbox components with the 2007 touring models. Some of the changes are hidden deep in certain components.

Engine

[ul][*]front head (new front motor mount)[*]crank bearing[*]cams[*]induction module (new fly by wire system)[*]Stator assembly[*]new ECM etc (new fly by wire system)[*]crank shaft position sensor[*]Starter assembly[*]starter clutch subassembly[/ul]
Gearbox

[ul][*]clutch cable[*]transmission assembly[*]transmission case subassembly[*]lock rings 11081 A[*]Inner primary bearing inner race[*]Input shaft[/ul]

 

Here is the rest

 

Well ain't that strange, all these changes in an engine/tranny thataccording to MOCO and their stealer's,had nothing wrong with them in 07. And I might add, most of those changes appear to be in areas suspected of causing issues with the 07's. This is as low-life as MOCO can get, deny that a problem even exists with the 07's, to the point of lying to their customers and even going so far as to cancel warranties, and nowapparently address the very same things people have been telling them about. Well at least now we mayhave a good sizedlaundry list of what the 07's need to make them right, which includes more than an IDS, that many are claiming a miracle cure for the 07's.All you guys going for an IDS to fix your scooters better keep your wallets out cause you got a ways to go. In essence what is shown here is MOCO only built the Clatter Wagons for one (1) year 2007, before throwing out the mold and starting anew. Gee do we wonder why?

 

Something tells me it is going to get interesting now........

 

Customer apprecition time.I know its dreaming!

 

I think what pittguy, I and a fewothers have been saying for a while nowmay finally come to light, so to speak. When you look atthe inventory of all those pieces/parts, just think new engine/tranny to fix our bikes, especially in the tranny area. Lets see what theHD loyalists have to say about MOCO and their steelers credibility now! If this ain't a slap in the face by MOCOI don't know what is!
