So now they have basically rebuilt your whole engine and replaced your transmission. I really hope it works for you. Sucks that you were without your bike for the better part of the summer. I don't know exactly where you live in Cali, but I hope it is in a temperate part where you can ride most of the winter. You've got some lost time to make up for.

 

Yeah, I get to ride all year long unless it's raining or snowing here at the house. 95 mile round trip commute daily. Plus I was lucky enough to have the 03 King in the stable so I really didn't lose out on much riding the last two months.

 

2,000 miles total. 1,000 since last service...all is good. But, had to add 4# in the front tire.

 

I just happened to see that HD does have a bulletin out about the transfer of trans oil into the primary. Unfortunately I cannot access the bulletin to see exactly what it says. I though I would mention it for those that have the problem and are dealing with service departments that "never heard of this before"


TA0022: Transmission to Primary Oil Transfer

 

Now it’s gotten interesting...

 

Where are the details on TA0022? It's not a hyperlink in the post, and (as with many things to do with this issue) the only place google leads to with a search, is this thread. Doesn't anyone else care about this issue?

 

 

I talked to my service manager yesterday and he mentioned a bulletin. I asked what it said and he told me it said they don't have a fix yet.

 

No fix.... they design an engine, test for 1million miles.......and can’t identify where the problem is coming from? Lol, situation normal.....pass me a drink!
