Author Message   Bosshound Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 12:21 am:        Harley Dealership is Investigating it Now. Got a Grinding Noise on the way to work today. Harley Service Guy said "Shut it Off"..............Will keep Ya updated. 2250 Miles   Boogiman1981 Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 12:27 am:        crapola   Cowboytutt Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 12:40 am:        Not a good sign at all. Keep us posted. -Tutt   Brumbear Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 07:45 am:        insist on a new motor   Puzzled Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 08:29 am:        From what has been posted on the various forums if you receive a new motor it will be the 2010 version with the upgrades over the 08/09 motors.   Angrycamaro Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 09:41 am:        What kind of upgrades are we talking about?   Hughlysses Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 09:45 am:        Oil sight glass for one thing.   Puredrive Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 09:54 am:        was the first maintenance done at the dealer? Wonder if that comes into play when something like this happens.   Tpoppa Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 10:10 am:        HD wound up with a bunch of 2010 motors when they bought out the Rotax contract. It shouldn't be too difficult to get them to replace with a 2010 mill.   Spank Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 03:25 pm:        Erik's shop has a lot of 2010 motors as well...I actually was shocked at how many they had! Was told I could get a deal if I needed one. I said thanks, but I will use up the one I have already first!   Fresnobuell Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 03:48 pm:        Any idea how much for a new motor? If it's reasonable it could be an option when my 08 track bike motor gets tired (or blowed up)   Spank Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 04:27 pm:        Don't think he gave me a number, we were running through there quite quick. I was more concerned and was paying more attention to what I was being told about a more permanent clutch fix. Personally, if I were to get a new motor from them I would find out how much it would be to "warm" it up a bit before installation.   Bueller_bjorn Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 04:28 pm:        When my motor blew, I called Erik's shop and got quoted on a shipped 09 motor for around $2,200 shipped to NY give or take.   Bosshound Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2010 - 09:13 pm:        Harley states that the Stator Cover bolts backed out and I guess it was loose causing the noise. Not an Engine Failure like first suspected. Does that sound right ? I got a Wierd Feeling that the Left hand does Not know what the Right hand is doing   Dannybuell Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2010 - 12:52 am:        The stator nuts torque values are greater than SM declares. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/578856.html?1278604373 Make sure your service department advisor knows these facts, discuss it and then email it to them as well.
