got over 25K on my 10 RG, only issue was compensator, which i had dealer do before major summer ride. I put 17K miles on mine in 19 days during Hoka Hey. Never used any oil, never gave a minute worth of problems. Tough piece of machiney. Ridden day, night, rain, cold, snow, wind, over 24 hours straight, with stops only for gas and rest room breaks. Even ran it off the road and it kept on taking the abuse. Thinking about changing the name in my post from Big Red to Timex.

2006 FLHXI I am original owner/rider.
Bike never abused broke in and serviced by the book at HD dealers.
Bike has never seen Red Line.
No internal engine problems, bike will use about 8oz oil in 2500 miles

I am now 73 and my beating the **** out of my bikes days are long past.

Here is the list of the way to many problems encountered with my bike.

Miles
2033 replaced leaking O-Ring on neutral indicator sensor.
10073 replaced Voltage Regulator (recall)
15609 replaced defective oil pressure gauge
22127 replaced broken right and left fairing brackets.
29881 replaced torn front engine mount

35840 cam bearings failed, rebuilt cam compartment-cam bearing kit pt#24984-99
cam bearings, pushrods, camshafts.
35690 engine "knock" traced to loose comp nut-had to clean and retorque

50k on my 06 FLHTCI. Complete engine replaced at 40k. Camgear cam off and destroyed the engine, couldn't even re-use the cases. Upside to this believe it or not. Motor company stepped up replaced the engine with a VIN stamped from the factory replacement engine. Local dealer covered the labor. Can't explain it but the bike got me home, running horribly and puked in my driveway but I only had to push as far as into my garage.
