2017 Road King. I had to add approx 2 OZ immediately after the 1000 mile service at the dealer. It showed normal when checking with the bike upright, but low when resting on the jiffystand. Just returned from a 1500 mile trip through the Ozark's, and now due for the 5K oil change. Have been checking regularly due to this forum, and so far no loss of tranny fluid.

long overdue, but at least they took the next 'official' step finally....must have exceeded a threshold for # of reported claims and the first step is communicating the monitoring process/procedure..sounds like maybe the seal/spacer instructions were a shot in the dark attempt..who knows
14,300 otherwise fun miles. I would love to keep this bike but might look at the 2019 models if they upgrade the engine to the 114.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers!

Dealer told me today that they received a service bulletin about a week ago for the transmission fluid transfer issue. All the bulletin says for now is check/fill transmission to proper spec, ride for 1,000 miles and return bike. He said no official fix has been released though. Just wanted to pass this along for anyone who hasn't heard.

Well now things are getting serious! After the dealer replaced a seal and a sleeve, I rode my bike for less than 200 miles and I’ve had to add in fluid. I extracted about 10 ounces of fluid from the primary! Then less than 50 miles later I had to add another six ounces to the trans. The bike is going to the dealer tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
