mjdart Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Action Suit Over Air-Cooled Engine Heat Advances by Jason Giacchino There is an ever-increasing movement of folks who feel Harley-Davidson has taken the air-cooled engine about as far as it can go. It seems like, without fail, anticipation rises among industry insiders and consumers alike that H-D is finally going to deliver upon rumors of making the move to liquid cooling. Of course back in 2001 when the V-Rod was first announced, it almost appeared as though the air-cooled days were numbered, but in the decade that's followed, H-D has silenced its skeptics by proving the air-cooled Evolution engine and liquid-cooled Revolution design can share a product line in harmony. Well, believe it or not, there are more than just technology hounds taking a stand against H-D's reluctance to adopt modern liquid cooling. A federal judge ruled that a class action lawsuit against Harley-Davidson, claiming Harley engines run so hot that they pose a constant danger of burning their operators/passengers, is going forward. The sympathetic arbitrator sided with four bikers claiming their Harley-Davidson motorcycles were defective in design. Chief 31 has burned me a few times these engines do run too hot to meet emmision requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottdog Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Typical yuppie RUBs.... They move to the country side and the next thing you know, they want to shut down the light house because the beacon is too bright, stop the fog horns because they keep them up at night, close the 100 year old pig farm because they can't stand the smell, outlaw roosters because they wake them up too early in the morning and now they want to sue the company that makes the one thing they think makes them look cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
