At 1500 miles, my pumpkin had a new Head gasket and Base gasket replaced (Initial leak was from the base gasket).
Now at 3700 miles we have another leak, but his time it is the head gasket, both leaks have occurred on the rear cylinder.
What a damn joke this has become. The moco's really need to pull their fingers out of their proverbial rear ends and fix this problem up.
As a result of harder times, is there a falling back to the old AMF days, where buying a Harley implied that you were also buying leaks of oil.
What can be done, are they waiting for natural attrition of the bikes, I think we are all fairly well experienced in riding and our bikes are going to be around for a long time yet, prayerfully I hope there won't be any mishaps for any of us.
"The oil leaks are not common" was a comment I had from a dealer, yes I agreed with him...then added, allowing for the fact that there are only 17 FLHTCUSE2's here in Australia, but that doesn't discount the fact that the leaks are still occurring on a regular basis with many of the CUSE's
So far I have heard that there are machining problems, to actual movements that are causing the leaks, is there any definite reason for the leaks that you all might know of?
Two things I would like to also pose is, what happens when the warranty runs out and the leaks keep on re-appearing, who covers the cost of this?
Cheers
Ride Safe
