I can tell you exactly what the next step is.........

they will probably replace the base gasket again, and after that doesn't work, they will replace the rear cylinder.
and if that doesn't work, you ask for a new motor.... :2vrolijk_21:

if they replace the rear cylinder, insist that they replace the piston rings in that cylinder....if they give you a hassle about that, have them call HD customer service.

I'm going throught almost the exact same thing.  my new motor has been ordered....... :bananarock:

thanks for that info Deuce Bigelow.  had to go out of town on a project but i know now the road I'm most likely going down.  i guess i push for the new motor sooner rather then later as that seems to be the answer.  how many times did you have yours in before they agreed to replace the motor?

After discussing the oil showing up at the base of the rear jug the dealer said  "That's just oil from reassembly, put some miles on it"  After about 400 miles I'm not getting any more oil.  I'll continue to ride and see what happens.  I'm glad I have the extended warranty, just in case

That's what they were hoping mine was.
but it never stopped, just kept weeping.
I would clean it every day at the end of the ride, and the next time I rode it was there again....

not a hard leak, just an oil stain that appeared at the base of the cylinder.


The new motor has a few hundred miles on it and so far no leaks........ my fingers are crossed! :drink:

drive belt rubbing?  that seems to be a mix of rubber and oil splashed all over the primary, swing arm, rear wheel and even splashed up onto the rear fender by the rear indicator, both original tyres were replaced last month with the same make/model tyre

Make sure you get the latest revision gaskets, I think they are " Rev C " (4th time they have changed the design)

Never had the chirping.....
