I guess I'm lucky, drive ~80 miles through the canyons of spirited riding and I end up with 4 oz when they drained the transmission after they had filled it. Last trip after it got the latest special fix was only ~20 miles. From Dealership to work. Check it the next morning and nothing on the stick! Took it back and there it sits with HD telling dealer to fill it and return to customer. I told dealership I did not buy a bike that I cannot use, to be a test case for HD. Allow then to road test it for greater than 1/2 the total miles that are now on the bike. Told them to call HD and have them (HD), not the dealership call me or my attorney would be contacting them. Now we wait and see.

After seeing this document, it would be interesting to hear from those who were downplaying this issue by saying it was only happening to a small percentage of bikes here on the forum (paraphrasing of course). You know who you are. This issue is real and should be a major concern to those who have these bikes. It's not a matter of if one will experience this, it is a matter of when they will.

So if the transmission transfers 5 oz or more of fluid to the primary during a 5000 mile period then the MOCO would look at it.
BUT if it only transfers 4 0z in a 5000 mile period then that is NORMAL??? I wish I had my old bike back and the MOCO had my new one where the sun don't shine. I have been afraid they were going to do this to us. This is not the first time they have sold us this poorly designed crap and refused to make it good.

This is a TECH ARTICLE, there is a difference between that type of document and a TSB, TECH SERVICE BULLETIN. At this point it don't make a difference since there is no fix for the 17s and up.
I also agree that is sure sounds like the MOCO considers 4.9 ounces or less of transfer ini 5000 miles acceptable..............I SURE DON'T! Maybe an ounce or two at most IMHO!
