Frequently Asked Questions About the 2017 Harley-Davidson FLHTKSE CVO Limited
It is powered by the Milwaukee-Eight 114 (1868cc) Twin-Cooled V-Twin engine.
Yes, as the first year of the M8 engine, the 2017 model is susceptible to oil sumping. Many owners upgrade to the 2020+ oil pump to resolve this.
The engine takes approximately 4.5 to 5.0 quarts of oil with a filter change. The transmission takes 1 quart, and the primary takes 1.1 quarts.
The CVO features a larger 114ci engine (vs 107ci), custom hand-finished paint, a higher-output Boom! Audio Stage II system, TPMS, and premium 'Airflow' collection accessories.
It is 'Twin-Cooled,' meaning it uses liquid cooling for the cylinder heads (specifically around the exhaust valves) while the rest of the engine is air/oil cooled.
The two primary recalls were for the clutch secondary actuator (leaking fluid) and the engine oil cooler line clamps (potential for detachment).
Yes, it comes standard with the Boom! Box 6.5GT touchscreen infotainment system with integrated GPS navigation.
