Are there any Harley Davidsons that do not overheat?
The dual cooling bikes are not so prone to overheating as the regular air-cooled models. Harley-Davidson and Ducati have taken steps to phase out air-cooling on their models. Liquid cooling was introduced on Harleys in 2014, and more models are getting liquid-cooled engines.
What to do when your Harley Davidson is running high?

What happens when the Idle is high on a Harley Davidson?
Strange that there are no historical codes since you did say you saw the check engine light come on.

This is one Harley to avoid. Yes, it’s a new bike, but the Livewire has had numerous problems in its short on again off again life. The electric bike has experienced problems with its charging system, which in turn led Harley to stop production of the bike in October of 2019.
Where does the heat go in a Harley Davidson engine?
The engine transfers heat to the oil, which then goes through the oil cooler. The cooled oil now goes back into the engine to cool it, and the cycle repeats. Oil-cooling allowed Harley-Davidson to continue using the air-cooled Big Twin engine on its bikes.
Why does my Clutch not release on my Harley?
Clutch is not adjusted properly if it won’t release. The banging into gear is somewhat normal for a Harley…the clutch pack does not completely stop moving when disengaged. Talk to BDL…soft clutch..and no banging. I have to review the motor up a little to disengage the clutch when stopping. It is 2003 police edition Harley Davidson.
