I'm trying to compile some statistics on what percentage of 110 owners are having problems, correlated with the number of miles on the motor.

So, if you are a 110 inch owner, please respond only once with only this information.

Miles on the bike
Have you had a cylinder oil leak problem (Yes or No)

I will compile this over the next few weeks and post the results. Thanks! keith

EDIT

If you are not sure if you have a leak yet, here is a quick test. Take a white paper towel. When the bike is cool, drag it across and through the cylinder fins just below the rear cylinder exhaust flange. That's seems to be where it shows up first.

Results so far

                                                       Miles on Motor

                             0-5000                 5000-10,000                     10,000-20,000

No Problems           14                             5                                       2               

Oil Leak Found        19                           15                                                       



I have stopped updating this one. Seems the results are clear. If you have a 2008 bike with a 110 motor, please see the new thread. Thanks to all that responded!
