05 fat boy leaking valve stem seals
My bike just turned 2000 miles and started misfiring. I replaced plugs before taking it to dealer and found front cylinder spark plug oil fouled.
After putting in new plugs bike ran about 1 minute and started misfiring again. I took the bike in to the dealer and the service writer told me that
the valve seals were leaking and they would install new seals under warranty. I told the s/w that there had to be something else wrong causing
the miss but they told me the new plug fouled right after install. I am a ase certified master auto tech so I know my way around engines and
for a plug to foul this quickly it seems the bike would be smoking like a freight train and it was not. Anybody else have any problems like this
