| I have heard this is a common problem with harley's evolution motor. many of the people i have talked to have experienced this problem after 50000 miles. i have a 1978 harley with well over 100000 miles and have never heard of this problem being normal on the older shovelhead motors produced prior to 1984. my motorcycle is used for traveling at highway speeds and has never been raced or abused. it has received the proper maintenance and repairs when needed and should not have failed as it did | |||
