| Description of the problem | Purchased my 3rd h-d (last 17 yrs) on may 2018, went big... 2018 cvo road glide (117 m8 fltrxse), heard all the chatter but bought it anyway. 3100 miles later, sumped on a 400 mile road trip, one qt low, burning odor, extreme heat, loss of power, 100 miles on 6 gallon tank of fuel... Local dealer picked up bike at hotel, 2 days on phone & emails with support techs, conclusion... Voided powertrain warranty due to unapproved tuning. Heard all the horror stories... But we've been tuning & altering for years, just an excuse to move on from the issues. This bike is currently at "gmr performance" in fort worth texas, loose piston jet oilers, bad oil pump, sticking crank and the hits keep coming... This bike will be re-built to 128 with quality parts and a competent builder... #3 is it for me. Https://gmrperformance. Com/ https://www. Facebook. Com/gmr-performance-559176144113934/ https://www.
