I rode my Screaming Eagle CVO Road Glide to Sturgis & back this year without issue. 1200 miles each way, via the route I traveled from Las Vegas, Nevada to Sturgis.
It did not leak a drop and oil level did not change up or down during this interval.
Its been sitting more than I've rode it since, other than a poker run and a couple trips to the grocery store & back;
because I have other bikes I prefer to ride around town in stop-n-go traffic over the big inch Road Glide.
This last week I rode it 3 days to work & back, 11 miles each way, had no issues, but noticed my LED/LCD oil dip stick was showing all bars & hi-oil after it was warmed up & one bar less than full on cold on kickstand.
this is consistent with checking/comparing it with my factory dip stick...
today both dip sticks show it too full of oil cold or hot...
all bars cold on LED/LCD & about 1/4" below full hot on either dip stick on part that is immersed in oil.
I neither see nor smell any indication of gas in oil to account for the sudden rise in oil level.
Other than changing the grips & the dip stick this CVO is rolling stock with less than 5000 miles on it, and it runs & rides great.
Before I spend 200 for the H-D dealer to tell me this is normal, thanks have a nice day; can anybody tell me if this is a known issue and WTF causes it? and is it a critical, something is FUBAR issue, tow it, don't ride it to the nearest H-D dealership issue?
thanks in advance.
