Default RKC 2011 lifters replaced

I have 2011 RKC with 11,000 on it. The front lifters were bleeding down after it cooled down. Covered under warranty. How many others have had to have this done?

My 2011 lifters knocked on cold startup. I sold it. Moco has too many quality issues for me. Steering head bearings needed tightened, cupped front tire, neutral rattle, bike shook when using just the rear brake (never did it before the brake recall). Had many Harleys before this one and this one was the worst. All this happened with just 3000 miles on it. Might be a while before I buy a new one again.

Pretty hard to believe that you got yours replaced under warranty. Its even in your owners manual that this is a normal condition. Page 169 under "hydraulic lifters".
