Driven 50 miles with 1.25qts low???
Guys, I need some help on 97 FLHRI EVO re-man motor with 6k on it...I recently had the dealer change the fluids. I put 50 miles on it by the time I got home from the oil change (the day was 70 degrees in AZ). The next time I went out, I checked the oil (I always pre-trip - ex-trucker).
How much damage is done to the motor if any?
What should I have a mechanic do to it? Compression check? Heads off? Do I ride it to a mech or tow???
I called the dealer. They sent a mech out to add oil. They haven't offered anything but state they'll do something (threw it in my court attitude). Do I get a lawyer to talk with the dealer? Or try by myself? I did write all the specifics in a fedex letter to them. But their response is no damage done (w/o looking at it) with just 50 miles on it with 1.25 qts low. Your thoughts...love to hear from Harley techs especially...
Thanks!!!

If it was hurt, you'd know.
You want to run it half way down on the stick anyways.
Your next post is going to be about how oil is dripping out the air cleaner.
