Yep. The twin cam would eat cam shoes from running too hot. They ended up trying to sell you the gear drive option before it left the showroom floor. Harley's run dang hot, not sure about the new M8 though. Haven't looked. My buddy bought a trike and just opted for the gear drive before he brought it home. Three other friends ate cam shoes, which bits got pulled right into the oil pump, etc..etc... Luckily, it was warrantied no problem.
