that mirrors my 'after' experience...the 'before' period while riding it like a banshee for awhile was what prompted me to initiate this thread..not having any idea at that time it was going to be attributed to this condition being investigated

 

Work Resolution JOB CODE 4304.......Like to know exactly what that is.....


According to the 2010 Job Codes - Job code 4304 - Replace Transmission Case on a FLHR - 5.3 Hours

 

g'day Dan
FYI, there are a few known M8's over here in West Oz that are showing signs of transfer.

 

On the trip. Extend highway speeds of 80 MPH were common. In the mountains at times we are not afraid to push it and did some. Compression braking was used a lot. The trip was 3000 miles. I had changed all 3 just before we left and know they were at the right level. Dropped all 3 when I got home , no reason to measure them at the time. Only reason I dropped transmission was to switch it over to Spectro as I always do.
From now on I will check each and measure what comes out . Considering picking up some dye and dumping it in.
I had a new bike that had porous case once . It started leaking a little at 500 miles dealer looked it over did not think it was a gasket. Said ride it bring it back. Every time I parked it oil. They replaced the cases they were porous. Seems there are cavities that should not have oil in them. Porous case allows oil to seep into them then it slowly leaks out of them.

 

That may be a possibility.

 

You could always put redline in the trans. It would be easier to trace it from the trans, but you would still have to pull the primary cover/clutch/comp to trace it.

 

posted twice for some reason

 

Redline heavy is to thick Used it in off road bikes in heat. It would like not show up any way in small amounts mix in primary lube. Spectro GL 5 is also bright red. The older GL 1 is green.
Not disrespecting REDLine heavy used in the right application it is an outstanding product. Ever try to pour REDLine heavy at 30 degrees ?

 

Too thick? In a Memphis summer? I like it better than the engine oil HD shipped my bike with and it's easy to find locally.

 

I don't live in Memphis anymore . I do miss it some times. Even here REDLine in on the shelf. The HD gear box needs a lube that flows easy The redline heavy is just to high a viscosity. It would work ok in the summer but not when it cools down. Left it in my FB once you could feel the drag of it just trying to push the bike.
I did not disrespect the product it is nothing new been around a long time . Like many things it has it's place.
