Consumer Description

I HAVE ACTUALLY 2 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ENGINE I BOUGHT A 103 KIT IN MY HARLEY FROM THE FACTORY ... IN THE PAST YEAR I'VE NOTICED SOME ISSUES WITH STARTING ON TAKING IT INTO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS INHERENT WITH THE 103 ENGINE THAT WAS LATER ADDRESSED WHICH THEY ADDED COMPRESSION RELEASE TO THE HEADS ... I AM OUT OF WARRANTY SO I WENT AHEAD WITH THIS FROM MY MECHANIC ... HOWEVER IN DOING SO HE HAD IT APART AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE COMPENSATOR AND PRIMARY BEARING ... BOTH OF WHICH WERE BAD ... I LOOK ON THE FORUMS AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE ... WHY WAS THIS NOT ADDRESSED AND RECALLED? BOTH ISSUES ARE PREVALENT FOR MY YEAR / MODEL ... OR ANY MODEL FOR THAT YEAR AND THAT ENGINE ... *TR
