@@americanborn1112 I totally believe you, buddy. May the bike gods bless you and your bike, and I hope you never have a problem with your machine. What I can't understand from all manufacturers (bikes and cars) is this: Bikes and cars have been around for well over a century now. There aren't hidden secrets in a four stroke engine. Everybody knows exactly what works and what doesn't. My question is this: How come it's 2020 and manufacturers from different countries still face reliability problems? I think there's a lot of hype in the "new engine", "new platform", "new technology". Why can't manufacturers stick to what works and practice the old mantra of "evolution, not revolution"? It does make me admire the Toyota Camry. Cutting edge technology? No. Cutting edge design? No. But does it work? Does it sell a lot? Are people happy with what they are buying? Hell, yeah!

9K miles on my 131 kit. Not a single issue. Why anyone would pay thousands extra for the crate motor is beyond me. The lower ends are identical.
@machninety73343 жыл бұрын
I was quoted around 5 1/2 thousand for the 131 kit installed at Harley for my 2019 heritage classic 114ci. The crate motor was around 1k more at 6 1/2 thousand. If I go with the crate, I have an entire engine, the factory one keep in mind, that I can have sitting around or sell to my buddy doing a custom build for at least a thousand bucks. But Knowing myself, if they are TRULY identical on the lower end, then I could take the motor apart and seperate each and every single piece to it, and start designing my own custom combustion chambers, custom piston tops, meticulously balanced rods, ect ect. Basically build a motor capable of around 300hp with boost. That would be why I would get the crate. You have a whole other engine to play with in your spare time. And even though I love building legos with my little guy, this is just more fun!

Sorry this engine design is based on a 1937 base engine. Sorry the assembled crankshaft is the base of the problem, it shuffles quite a bit and most of the cam and oiling system is directly related to that damn week crankshaft. Now use some logic here guys, you are using a pressed together crankshaft with a long stroke so even if you almost passed high school shop class you would recognize that the longer the stroke the more stress you are going to put on the crank. Then remember the last street motorcycle brand to use a multi cylinder pressed together needle bearing crankshaft was Suzuki and they dropped that in the late 70's due to reliability issues with crankshaft shuffle, now remember they were talking a stroke of under 70mm or about 2.75". Increasing the power on Harley's rather frail crankshaft is simply asking for failure, yep if you keep out of it you might get OMG 70k miles and yes that has happened in the real world but not often. Other bike brands a crankshaft failure is rare for the life of the bike, usually the failure is it was ran out of oil to see this failure. Now remember these bikes are pumping out well over 100hp stock and are turning over 2 times as fast. Harley would do well to go to a forged 1 piece crankshaft, yes it would require either a master/slave type con rod or better offset cylinders by the width of the rod+throw offset. On the offset rods would give a wonderful plus also, the back cylinder would actually get better air flow, remember the famous issue of cooking off the rear cylinder issues ever present on the Harley. Indian did their engine design based on a one piece crank and they produce a shitload more power and don't have the bottom end issues, it is time for Harley to think outside of that 1937 design box.

I got the 131 stage 4 put into my 2020 cvo limited 117. I have supertrapp slip ons, supertrapp catless headers and power vision tuner. It's currently making 128 hp and 146 ft lbs of torque at the wheels.. problem is with the tunining due to the rdrs traction control.. not many tunes from various companies have perfected the rdrs tunes, so my power is dropping off at 5,000 rpm,,, and bogged down retarding of power in 1st and 2nd gear,,,,,am waiting to get a tune file from fuelmoto to sort it out, and sort it out,, hopefully with more power,,,,, bye the way, that's with the included se 517 cam,,,

Go to a real shop to have motor work done. While there are some really good HD dealerships that know how to do an engine right, that is the exception not that norm. Do your research and find the right shop. Even if u have to ship your bike out.

BLAHAHAHA! You spend $50K+ for a CVO and crate engine and you cannot ride the bike because of problems from the word "go." And HD wonders why their stock tanked.

I've owned a few Harleys. However, i have never bought one new from a dealership for this reason!

First of all, that 131 should be a factory option and ordered with that motor instead of buying it after the fact and pay an additional 10K. Next, I've read that many HD engines were not assembled as well as they could've. I assume this is true for the 131 as well. If HD wants long-term customers, engineer them properly, use better materials and, assemble them so they are built to last! Me, I've been riding HD's since 1979 with my trusty Shovel-head Super Glide FXE. My current ride is my 2014 HD Fat Bob that I love! It's a 103 and I have many plans to build it and bullet-proof it! I almost traded it in for an Indian, but decided to stay loyal to the HD brand! Besides, what good is it having a legendary icon if you can't have the bragging rights!

$9500 for a new logo on the cylinders. I have no idea why people do these engine swaps a Harley. This is not a supersport bike. My Sportster will run circles around this all day long.

It sounds incredible. Not surprising, that's what Harley does. What Victory and Indian does, is run correctly and make power, right out of the box. And yes, I would take a NOS or previously loved Victory, any day, over a 2020 Harley. Not to take away anything from your bike. I hope that you enjoy it for years to come.

That’s sad, the people that built it and fix it can’t dyno it and the people that dyno it can’t work on it. I would have moved on from those guys. Don’t have the patience or money for that.

@williamnewberry72153 жыл бұрын
The headpipes being different lengths throws the tune out of synch to begin with, especially true duals....... the cylinders wont help each other scavenge and the TTS tuner works well but if you or someone else ever tries to tune the bike with another brand tuner, the ECM will lock you out and shut the bike down. The ecm will have to go back to tts and steve coles' feelings will be hurt that you want his software removed and he will take his sweet time getting your ecm back to you !

I guarantee you nobody ever pressurized the oil system and got oil flowing into the engine prior to starting it and lunched the lifters. Additionally, why would they Dyno tune a brand new engine without any brake in miles?

Interesting...This appears to be a Stage IV kit or Dealership built 131 engine because there isn't a 131 engine in Black Granite (CVO). Did the dealership build this 131 engine?

@@rawdawgg_ a fool and his money will soon part. Why in the hell would I buy a new top of the line Harley for 30 to 40k? Just to have to invest thousands of dollars more just to maybe have a decent bike. I picked up a 01 valk for 4k with 17k on it. I spent less than 1k refreshing systems in this excellent boxer 6 that will SMOKE any Harley. Most Harley's sit to be looked at.. or ridden at rallies for the "look at me"factor while adolescent adults thump their chests. I'm wiser than that... Most Harley's are trailered to events for the vanity factor. I ride this Valkyrie daily.. Long and far and cheaper than if on a Harley. Fools spend and waste money... Wise men invest. And I don't pay any interest... Yeah.. That's why.. Harley turned me down... LMFAO. No son..I turned Harley down for a much better bike. *Edit* the reason I would never oven a Harley.. Except maybe a Evo RK..I make money working on them..I love how I help soften the blow on their bad investment by fixing them....lol. By all means if you want to throw money at the pit, it's America.. I'll stop and help those stranded Harley's though. Tip... Purchase the goldfish option, that way you don't have to walk home alone.
