| Description of the problem | Oil pressure switch worked it's way out only indicating low pressure by the time while riding. I got it to my dealer after they told me to bring it in when parked the switch was out far enough to cause the oil to pour out. If this had happend when riding in my opinion the engine would sieze causing the wheels to lock and throw the rider off the motor cycle causing serios injury or death to the rider and causing an accident of the vehicles behind. This is on the new milwalkee 8 engine. Have read complaint of the failure but not on it working it's way out. Notified harley davidson requested an engineer be sent to look at this problem,waiting on a reply |
