I had just heard the same - Something about the rear cylinder. That lung always is more prone to heat related issues, but, one might think that a manufacturer of V-Twins for over a century would know and apply all the necessary tricks and cures to keep it cool.
I think part of that problem is due to the fuel injection. Way back, because of the 45 degree timing offset, the rear cylinder got an undersize fuel/air charge at low speeds. This caused it to only fire once in 2 or 3 times, giving the engine a more exaggerated "Harley idle" and causing the rear cylinder to run a little cooler at low speeds.
