T-Roy,

Thanks and sorry for taking over your topic man! I should have started a new one. It's just that initially it sounded like we had the same problem.

And yes, I'm on my way. jpb was kind enough to donate a quart of Redline and we changed the transmission fluid this evening. So even if the dealer had not done so, we are in the clear as far as possible fluid contamination.

No problem Cam. I did not consider it a take over. It was just additional information. As far as my issues go the Harley shop said they should have the rest of the parts by the end of the day tomorrow so I am hoping I will be leaving town on my bike this Sunday.
Like they say in Louisiana: Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Sure hope they learned how to fix it after reading all the HELL T-Roy went through with his still have not heard the final result.

Cam, I am glad you are all fixed up!  I looked and I don't have a recall (and manufacture date is sooner than listed) so I dont; expect a notice.

[T-Roy]

The Harley shop received the rest of the parts today. This shop stays open through the weekend so my fingers and toes are crossed that they can have it ready for me to leave town on it this Sunday.

Notice came in the mail yesterday.
The wife opened it while I was working in the yard.
She was all "you can't ride her now...", but I told her "...it would be fine - just don't stand in front of it when I fire her up!"

But wouldn't that help to keep the bike from getting scratched!  HA  Just kidding!

Just remember as long as you ride everyday you wont; have a problem!

T-Roy,

Did things work out for you this past weekend?

Thought I would check my VIN since seeing this thread. Yup, it's on the recall list but nothing received from the dealer or Harley. Funny, as they both seem to have no trouble carpet bombing me with marketing when they feel like it.

So, called the nearest dealer (they did the last recall, last year on the same clutch....) and having established that my VIN really was subject to a recall and I wasn't just trying to get the work done for chits and giggles, he says "I will put you on the list, no kits from Harley to do the work and I don't have the first idea when they will arrive. Call you when I have them".

Seriously Harley? You know where the bikes where retailed through, send the dealers a working stock of recall kits based on the retail footprint and then top them up as required as I know not every dealer who retailed one will still be looking after it. Really, how hard can it be??

My bike is used regularly and I always start in neutral with the clutch pulled in so I am thinking I should be OK. If not, I have a washing machine rather than a riding machine until Harley extracts it's digit.

Be sure to have the front brake applied before dropping it into gear.

I'm of the impression that even if you don't have the parts to replace...if your bike exhibits the symptoms, it would seem that the 'get by' fix would be to fully flush and replace the fluid. I would imagine that doing this would buy you some time, though I can't prove it.

Mr Surly, thanks for the reminder, really helpful.

No I am afraid not. When they took the slave cylinder apart to remove the pushrod they found that end of it all chewed up also. I sure would have thought they would have done that already?? Sooo now they have ordered a new slave cylinder and I left town in the cage to go offshore to work. The silver lining in the cloud is the service manager said he is going to put as much of the bill as he can on an ESP CLAIM since the have some factory parts that have failed. He said he is going to treat it like the slave cylinder failing was the root cause of everything else going bad.
