Not many people know about the fan assisted oil cooler, the dealer advised me of it when I bought my bike but most M8 bikes I see don’t have it yet trikes and police bikes do. Another thing is after you get back from a hot ride you just turn bike off then turn on ignition only then hold throttle open until fan comes on.👍🏽 Still have to go dealer and have fan flashed to your bikes system tho.
Thanks for the video. Good tips, my dealer figured that the bike's ECM would control the fan without any added programming but I'll have them double check that. Funny how people who don't have any videos complain about your video, glad you uploaded it.
I was looking to add this on my 2019 RGS but for it to fall under my warranty the dealer said they would have to install it. Well between the oil cooler and labor it was quoted at around $730.00 (I assumed they figured replacing all hoses also). I told them forget it I'll do it myself, found online for $269.00 and if it fails I can buy another one and still be ahead. YOU MAY WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH YOUR DEALER IF YOUR COOLER IS COVERED DUE TO THE FACT YOU DID THE INSTALL, LET ME KNOW WITH A RETURN COMMENT.
I used the dealer I purchased the bike from to do the flash, which they did for free, and the service manager said he would add it to the SWR. Don't know if he actually did it but he said he would. I don't believe i will ever have an issue as long I am dealing with my dealer. If it's not on the SWR it would be an issue I suppose if on the road somewhere. It's guaranteed for a year no matter who installed it.
I don't understand your statement. Are you saying there are other resources to get the ECM "flashed" to recognize the cooler other than a Harley dealership?
I called my dealer to verify the software upgrade. He said it was required. They did the update as I waited. I witnessed the technician remove the side cover and plug it in. From what I could see he waited and watched for what seemed like something to download and upload after a few keystrokes. I couldn't actually read the monitor but he either did an upgrade or he did a really good job of acting. The whole process took less than 10 minutes and my dealer didn't charge anything for doing it.

One would think that Oil-cooler is placed in a risky position, but if HD approved it…🤔 it’s all good, right ? 😉👍🏻

Warranty not an issue if HD parts
That’s not true, actually against the law to refuse warranty on a part they would cover if installed. Plenty of videos explaining it.
Tbis engine is a 107 or 114
107 . This cooler works for both displacements
Are you related to John Maxwell?
No
No need for a trip to the dealer to get the bike "flashed"?
