 Defective oil pump on a 2003 harley davidson flstci. (100 year special) motorcycle was bought brand new from local dealer and only has 14,000 miles. noticed unusual vibration and checked oil input into oil bag. very low pressure at first and no pressure on second day after slow easy warm up and even more engine vibration. did not want to cease engine so turned it off and removed oil pump. (pump is available.) asked a different local dealer if they have had any complaints about oil pumps on this model and the response was (they have had a few but not very many). i have changed oil on a regular basis and i don't think that an oil pump should go bad after only 14,000 miles. problem is not fixed as i have taken the oil pump out and have not replaced it yet. i also have to check for damage to pistons,rings and cylinders. harley davidson claims to be the best and i have owned several but never had a problem like this. *tr
