The bikes in the shop now or I would check. I'm hoping for a quick fix so I can get riding again.

 

i dunno', color looks too fresh like poured straight for a bottle

 

Yeah. That's not usually were vented oil usually accumulates either.

 

Have you soaked it up to see if it comes back, or already did that.
Oil is too clean. Looks like someone put it there

 

What if this is as good as it gets?

 

Bike just rolled 800 miles when it hit the shop. I kept a eye on the oil pressure while I was going to the shop and it was good the whole way. I agree that it looks clean but I haven't had to add any oil to the bike since I purchased it.

 

2017 Road Glide Special.

Not sure its specifically an M8 problem, but my bike tracks left when I let go of the bars.

Had it in the shop for my 1000 mile service last weekend, and they wound up keeping it all day. Had to pick it up that Sunday.

Anyway, they said the sub frame came misaligned from the factory and claimed they got it aligned. It still pulls, although it seems a little less "harder", but wanted to ride it on multiple surfaces to make sure it wasn't just the road I was on.

I've own a couple metric cruiser, but this is my first Harley. Never had a bike that didn't track straight, but have heard of some people having this occur.

I only worry about it because of premature tire wear. Otherwise I don't do a lot of hands free riding.

Just an FYI for others thinking of buying the M8 or trying to find out if anyone has noticed this.

 

No I didnt wipe that spot. Probably should have tried but HD shops usually want evidence that there is a issue before they look at it.

My concern was getting it fixed before it became a bigger issue. Especially with Sturgis coming up. My shop is already booked until at least the 27th of this month with those riders.

 

That was my first thought. 800 miles, that's really yellow. Will be interesting to hear what's it from..

 

First of all I am truly sorry you are having problems with your new bike.
They told you your "Sub frame was maligned"? And, they fixed it? This makes me smile because this sounds like something the late actor Professor would have said. He was famous for giving out double talk answers to questions. Again, sorry you are having problems. I hope they have it fixed.
