    Milwaukee Eight

    I’m considering a low-mileage, responsibly ridden 2018 Road King with the 107.

    I know some of the ‘17-‘19 M8 engines experienced “sumping” issues due to poor crankcase oil scavenging… also aware of various remedies.

    Just looking for any personal experience/advice with these engines.

    TIA

    Two of my buddies have them and haven't had any issues. As with every year and model, I'm sure a few are going to be problem children. I have heard the power is much better and mods are many if you want more.
    Still running 2011 110 CVO. Would like to get to the new motor but everything takes time...

    They are good motors. I have had zero issues with a 2020 107.

    Sweet ride and congrats!! Blue and silver has always been one of my favorite combos. One of the many reasons I'll never get rid of my Astro 20FDX.

    Had a 2020 RG special with the M8.
    Thing was a torque beast.
    Pretty King for sure.
    Id love to have another but probably never will.

    If it doesn't have it already, install a catch can, helps with the oil blowby in the fuel system.
