All about the Harley-Davidson 107, 114, 117, 131 Milwaukee 8 motor. Why is it special?

I get asked nearly everyday about the Harley-Davidson Milwaukee 8 motor, why it’s called that, how does it perform, why is it so special. Well here you go.

Thanks for making this simple. Your explanation is exactly what I was looking for. These clowns who take 20 minute video and fill 19 minutes with bs about their life, I hate it. I want fast answers and straight forward common sense and you delivered. I will subscribe to that.

Thanks man, exactly what i needed to know ! I just got a 2023 roadglide with the 107 which is badass ! to me it is because i was riding a 08’ sportster nightster with a 1200 with a stage 1 . This Milwaukee 8 motor the 107 blows that 1200 out!!! Im mean that ball is outta here!!! Someone wake me up! Its unbelievable I love it ! I can tell its stock parts got it suppressed, I cant wait to stage 1 it !

Thanks for the boiled down description of differences between the “Milwaukee 8” & “Twin Cam” motor concepts.. once again they improved on something that was already widely respected.. that is very cool.

Thanks for the straight talk. As a long time gear head, I appreciate the video and you getting directly to the point without distraction. I subscribed after watching my first video. Keep up the good work.

Hey Ricky, question about the 114 vs 117. Of course power Is awesome but also looking reliability. Do you see higher service issues with the 117 vs 114? Any real difference in mpg with gas here in cali creeping $7

[robertolopezjr]

Greatest explanation on YouTube.. THANK YOU!!

[Heritagejim]

Great video Ricky but a question I have is I just put a stage two screaming eagle torque cam in my bike I already have a stage one but I didn’t seem to get the power I was expecting any helpful hints thanks buddy

[aerojetbelgium]

Hello, what technical differences between the 107 and 114, is the difference on the connecting rods or the crankshaft pin?

[thecommanderandchief]

I’m 67 years old, I ride a 2020 Lowrider S 114 with stage 1 upgrade, this bike flat out hauls ass !

[h.d.mech.mortenson]

Ricky ! Great informative video. My question is about venting, crank case gases into the throttlebody, obviously this isn’t good because of the carbon buildup overtime and I know why Harley has to do it because of emission standards but what do you suggest? Should I do the dipstick modification or should I run Hoses away from the throttle body and vent them to a filter or a catch can? I have a new Lowrider ST with less than 500 km on it so I want to address this issue right away and I value your input. Thanks ahead of time.

I’ve been seeing videos about the Milwaukee 8 motor that the oil pump isn’t pushing the right amount of oil through out motor how could u tell if oil pump has been replaced or is all this info true
