Interesting .......my heritage 114 has 5,000 kms on her, checked it last weekend, nothing bad to report. All levels are correct.
Be interested to see how the new pump goes Oz Dan.
Onya Dan, good you caught it before it started making metal.
As above, it’s a hydraulic clutch issue only, so not applicable to M8 softails Neale. In regard to potential sumping, there is a new 8 lobe pump (MY20) which scavenges 40% better than the previous version......looks to be the winner so far. It’s available as a kit, part #62400247.......I’m getting it installed Monday at Wackers - haven’t had sumping issues, purely preventative insurance.
So hopefully these (MY20) 8 lobe pumps will be in the 2020 model Harley's?
Just an update on my trans transfer..
.....just answering here as I was asked.....anyhow, got my new pump fitted.....once they were in the cam chest, Wackers noticed excessive wear on the cam lobes and lifters, suspect pump maybe wasn’t doing it’s job as it should.......so I got the job done on my extended warranty, new cam and lifters fitted, although I still paid for the new pump......it still worked and it wasn’t certain it was the issue......and after all, Harley lifters have been crap for years.....I was just happy to have it done for under $200.....but for those with an original MY17 pump, it might be prudent to get the new 8 lobe fitted, especially if you’re adding a cam....
Thanks Oz Dan,I agree to fit the later oil pump,I have been suss on the original oil pump that was fitted in the 2017 107 for a while
I suspect you are quite right to be a little suss of the very first pump like I too had......my bike is running noticeably cooler and it’s much quieter. It also will return all the oil to the bag in under 30 seconds whereas before I’d have it idling for 2-3 minutes to get a proper oil level read.....
