A Federal Court Judge has denied a Harley Davidson motion to dismiss Harley bikers’ claims for fraudulent and unfair business practices, violations of Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), and unjust enrichment. A class action lawsuit may now go forward against Harley Davidson alleging certain Harley motorcycle engines produce severe, and excessive heat causing burn injuries and clothing to catch on fire.

Harley Davidson Sued

Last week, a federal judge ruled that a class action lawsuit against Harley Davidson could go forward, siding with four bikers who claim their Harley Davidson motorcycles were defectively designed because their engines ran so hot as to pose a constant danger to riders of being burned and were therefore not fit for their intended use.

The complaint alleges that since 1999, Twin Cam 88, 96, 103 and 110 cubic inch engines in Harley motorcycles produce severe, excessive heat causing clothing to catch on fire, burn injuries and the danger of burn injury to riders and passengers as well as overheating causing premature engine wear and in models manufactured after 2006, transmission failure. Although Harley Davidson asked the Eastern District of California court to throw out the claims under state law, the U.S. District Judge sided with the bikers.

Greg Owen, a partner at Los Angeles personal injury attorneys Owen, Patterson & Owen and one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in this case, states, “Harley Davidson has known about this problem from the early 2000s and has the technology to fix it, but has chosen to sell tens of thousands of touring bikes here in California without disclosing this known defect. When Harley customers complain to Harley’s dealers after purchase, Harley’s response is that’s normal and it refuses to offer an effective fix to the problem.”

Owen believes the unsafe heat problem is due to Harley selling larger engines that cannot comply with the emission standards of many states, including California.

‘The fix is pretty simple,’ says Owen, “and Harley already has it – manufacture touring bikes with liquid cooled engines instead of air cooled engines. If Harley did that this serious design and safety defect would go away.”

The recent ruling allows the case to move forward, and Harley Davidson will now face Class Action Certification process at the end of the month. image

Amsoil

The AMSOIL Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge doesn’t officially get underway until next month, but excitement is starting to build amongst competitors and enthusiasts alike. This past weekend 7 selected engine builders brought their builds out to the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, OH. The engines were featured in a display for Mopar enthusiasts all weekend before being shipped off to Comp Cams facility in Memphis, TN. This is where they will remain until they undergo dyno testing once the competition officially kicks off September 19th.

The concept of the Amsoil Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge is for builders to create a solid, well-built engine based off the same set of rules. Engines cannot be valued at more than $5,500 without facing penalties in horsepower calculations, ensuring an even playing field for those with the talent but less means for fancy parts. As the Presenting Sponsor, Amsoil is the only lubricant allowed and will be installed in every engine.

Amsoil

The AMSOIL Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge is the perfect platform for engine builders to showcase their talents to the market that needs them. In addition to the display coverage at the Mopar Nationals, Mopar Muscle also features extensive coverage of the entire event in the pages of their magazine. AMSOIL will be covering the challenge right here on the Events Blog as it unfolds next month, so be sure to check back for updates.

Amsoil Equipped Motorcycles Shine In Fuel Economy Challenge

Amsoil Equipped Motorcycles Shine In Fuel Economy Challenge

Amsoil

AMSOIL synthetic lubricants figured prominently in the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge held May 13 in northern California, where a diesel-powered motorcycle using Amsoil products won by achieving 128.24 mpg. Many of the other bikes also relied on Amsoil products to help achieve results nearly as impressive.

Amsoil

Winning driver Fred Hayes of Hayes Diversified Technologies (Hayes-DT) completed the challenge riding the company’s MD670 F2 diesel-powered motorcycle (pictured above). Hayes bested the next closest competitor by over 18mpg using biodiesel fuel, a lightweight motorcycle design (370 pounds dry) and Amsoil synthetic lubricants throughout.

  • Engine and Transmission – Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
  • Cooling System – Antifreeze and Engine Coolant, Dominator© Coolant Boost
  • Chassis – Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease
  • Chain – MP Heavy Duty Metal Protector
  • Forks – Shock Therapy© Suspension Fluid #10 Medium
  • Fuel – Diesel Concentrate

Competitors completed a 133.5-mile course designed to provide real-world, challenging conditions. The trip, beginning and ending in Carmel, Calif.,

included mountainous terrain cresting a 2,500-foot pass, while the return ride along the famous El Camino Real subjected riders to 30 mph headwinds that tested the limits of each motorcycle’s fuel efficiency. Held at various places throughout the country, the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge dates to 1980 and aims to encourage development of motorcycle technologies that improve fuel economy while remaining viable for everyday drivers.

The winner must consume the least amount of fuel measured in dollars and cents while meeting all prescribed conditions. Hayes used $4.53 in biodiesel, essentially one gallon, to travel the entire 133.5 miles in challenging conditions, highlighting the bike’s impressive technology and the effectiveness of AMSOIL products. Hayes said his bike showed measurable improvements running Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil and Diesel Concentrate, including easier shifting from the transmission. Competitors had to remain ahead of trailing official at all times to prevent them from padding fuel economy statistics by driving slowly. Two bikes were disqualified for doing so.

AMSOIL-sponsored Hayes-DT focuses on developing the world’s most cutting-edge, heavy-fuel-powered, light tactical vehicles and small engines for military use.

In fact, key Hayes-DT corporate personnel have served in modern military conflicts deployed on Hayes-DT military motorcycles. The bikes receive the most use from the Combat Military Police for rout recognizance and convoy control.

Hayes-DT Street Fighter bike

The Hayes-DT Street Fighter bike achieved 90.82 mpg running biodiesel and AMSOIL lubricants throughout

A second Hayes-DT bike, the Street Fighter, was disqualified after a battery problem caused it to miss the official start. Following repairs, driver Josh Chen rallied to complete the course anyway, achieving 90.82 mpg, which would have been good enough for third place. The Street Fighter used the same lineup of AMSOIL products as the MD670 F2. Although neither motorcycle is available to the general public yet, Hayes-DT is currently working on EPA and EU emissions certification. Until then, competitions like the Vetter Fuel Economy Challenger allow Hayes-DT to showcase the advanced technologies of their bikes and the performance benefits of AMSOIL synthetic lubricants and additives.

Premium Protection for New and Rebuilt Engines – Amsoil assembly lube

Premium Protection for New and Rebuilt Engines

Amsoil assembly lube

FREE Amsoil Catalog, no obligation, 58 pages of good information sent via USPS

Amsoil assembly lube

Amsoil assembly lube

New AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube (EAL) is formulated to cling to engine parts and provide exceptional wear protection while inhibiting rust and corrosion in newly built or rebuilt four-stroke engines. It is designed to dissolve in oil, helping eliminate oil port clogging and deposit formation, and represents a premium option for performance enthusiasts, engine builders and race teams. It also presents a perfect complement to AMSOIL Break-In Oil (BRK), Dominator® Racing Oil (RD20, RD30, RD50) and Z-ROD™ Motor Oil (ZRT, ZRF).

 

Clings Tenaciously to Parts
Because building an engine can take from a few days to many months, using an engine assembly lube that clings well to parts for extended periods is critical. AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube is formulated with a high-viscosity base oil and a unique tackifier for long-lasting, tenacious cling.

Exceptional Wear Protection
During initial startup, engines operate momentarily with little-to-no oil pressure, placing camshaft lobes, lifters, rocker arms, bearings and other critical parts at high risk of wear and failure. In addition to inhibiting wear by clinging to parts, AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube contains high levels of antiwear additives for further protection.

Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
An engine can sit in a garage partially assembled for long periods, allowing moisture and oxygen to form rust on exposed metal surfaces. Amsoil assembly lube contains rust and corrosion inhibitors that protect engine components during inactivity.

Dissolves in Oil
Grease-based assembly lubes can increase the risk of oil port clogging if the grease is not fully consumed at initial startup, potentially causing engine failure. AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube is designed to dissolve in oil, helping oil ports remain clean, and helping to eliminate deposit formation under the valve covers and in the oil pan.

Easy and Precise Application
Amsoil assembly lube is packaged in convenient 4-oz. tubes, allowing for cleaner, more precise application compared to other products.

Amsoil assembly lube

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube is recommended for any new or rebuilt four-stroke engine, including racing and performance engines, and should be applied to all areas of the engine susceptible to initial startup wear.

  • Tenaciously Clings to Parts
  • High in Anti-Wear Additives
  • Dissolves in Oil
  • Provides Rust & Corrosion Protection
  • Recommended for all Four-Stroke Engines, Including High-Performance and Racing Engines
