Has anyone heard of this?

Rode 375 miles yesterday with temp reaching lower 90s. Could not tell any difference in engine heat with the new M8 oil filter. Seemed about the same to me.

Jerry,does your trike seem to have the fans kick on more often ?? Seems like whenever I stop they come on.

I don't have new one like you but my 2018 comes on more often than my 2016 did, sometimes I wish they didn't come on and I know I could turn it off, but I will leave it on for now. Not sue if the M8 is the cause of fans coming on more often or not, I know my twin did not come on as often as this one.

All for now Trampas

Thanks, My 16 only seemed to come on when I pulled in the garage & shut it off. Must be the M8 is hotter or they changed up the fan settings. Still pretty tight only 1400 on it.

my 19 fans differently run much more often then my 14 did. I ask the service tech and he stated that the 114 is a hot engine (not exact words).

I’ve only had M8s with twin cooling and my 2020 seems about the same as my 2018 and my 2017. Only seem to run a short time after turning off motor.

I ordered an IR gun last nite. When it gets here will check temps at oil filter (old style) *& HD oil. Will change out to a better oil when leaving on trip in July & take temps again. I know Amsoil runs cooler,but that is not what I will use this time.

Pick it up tomorrow, everything but the paint protector is done. Guy that does that is still out on medical. I don't mind. This dealer is very good to me. It is not pressing & will be made right. IR gun not here yet either, but soon & then I will test temps. HD oil & old style filter. Before we leave on trip, New oil & K&N filter. Our dealer has no new filters.

More non sense from a dealer, obviously he has not heard of the Warranty Laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

The dealer along with The MOCO would have to provide the oil and filter under this law and he should know this before he opened his trap

Imagine that .... an HD Dealer talking out of his B$tt :Shrug:

Been running Liqui Moly for about 6 years now. It is a great oil. Never had any issues with the oil, or any engine it was in. Just put it in the 20. Best place to find it is eBay, a bmw supplier has the best prices, plus free shipping. There was a huge thread about this oil on HTT forums, very positive.
