He told me it must be leaking out. I was losing 5 to 6 oz in 300 miles.
I asked him; "shouldn't it be all under the bottom of the bike if it was leaking"?
"Besides, the bike stays downstairs when not being ridden. Nothing in the carpet or in the floor.
Where is the oil going"?
Silence.

The low level of intelligence or complete lack thereof in some people shouldn’t shock me anymore but somehow it still does....So the reason for overfilled primaries is the customers fault, people over filling their primary? That surely also explains the reason for a fluid transfer TSB from the MoCo & the kits that they developed to stop the problem......Someone should really inform the MoCo of this dealerships employee youtube video so they can revise or put out a new TSB to say they were wrong, there’s really nothing to see here & recall the kits (which mostly dont work anyway), it was all just the customers screwing up; overfilling primaries,,,,& at the same time using up transmission oil.

Fair enough. Would you use that same logic with say...your body? If doctor A told you he'd like to take an xray and have you come back on a month to see if the troubled spot got better, stayed the same, or got worse before taking additional steps and doctor B told you he wants to cut out your liver, you'd run with doctor B?

Man O Man! This is a tough crowd. It has always been a tough crowd. Everyone is an expert mechanic until they have to fix something. Then most go to the dealer for repairs. Cut the guy a little slack. He is trying to help people and the only thing he gets in return is crap from outhouse experts. If you don't like his videos or his advice, just ignore them but why go out of your way to squeeze his nads.
