2014-2016 HD Water Pump problems

Pump problems

Well Guys,

I don't have the miles on my '15 like most of you guys but at 84?? the pump went out and BH Harley is 775-800 to replace it with the M8 water pump.

In the shop now
 
I road my 14 TG from Ottawa, Ontario to N. Tonawanda, NY over 300 miles with no problems at all. The mechanic in Ottawa said "It's a Harley, it's air cooled. You will have no problems making it home. Just try to stay away from bumper to bumper traffic as much as you can." I live in Chicago.

The NY dealer was the first dealer that was open (Sunday) and had a pump.
 
Water pump

Hey Guys,

I forgot to mention that when I was talking with the HD service Dept. about riding it in they told me HD says drive it as far as the closest dealer??? what does that really say about how far you'd be able to ride it, sounds like a 50/50 you FU'd deal to me.

It sounds more like ride at your own risk
 
Let me first say that i'm not a engineer....

But I would think that when Harley went to Semi- Water -Cooled they Re-calibrated the fuel management and EMC systems for an engine that runs cooler ....With the pump not working the calibrations will be off and the engine will run way too hot...:Shrug:...

Hey Scott… Welcome to Trike Talk…👍👍..

Have you checked to see if there was a service Bulletin on the water pump maybe Harley Owes you some money???
 
Reminds me on my first Maggie Valley trip . Water pump took a dump , no one had one . Labor Day weekend , spent 4 days in a Hampton Inn in Virginia. Got to know every employee on every shift . When we picked up the trike the cost was $200 labor . N/C for the new and improved replacement .

BTW we did make it the following year and had a hoot :clapping:
