Thanks. Tons of good knowledge in this forum.

 

I have a few weeps as well. Nothing serious, They just collect dust and look bad. I clean them with Simple Green and a toothbrush when I give it a real bath every couple months. Don't forget to rinse out the toothbrush before you put it back in the wife's holder.

 

I might try some type of sealant to see if it can slow it down a bit. I'm still in the new bike stage where I over analyze every little thing. I know it's coming straight from that pry spot.

 

Spray the area with Brake cleaner, let it dry, and wipe some black silicone sealant into to area.

1004ron, I was reading your previous thread about your leak at the top end of your rear cylinder a couple hours ago trying to find a fix to my problem. I will definitely try that. the only problem is trying to find enough room to reach the spot.

 

Welcome dude. This place is indeed full of good peeps and tons of knowledge. Is this your first Harley? These things, especially the older ones are know for leaks lol.

Like these other guys said your issue is not terribly urgent. Just keep an eye on the oil level from time to time and you should be good to go.

 

You just haven't gotten the azzholes out yet! Try posting about oil or chaps and sit back and enjoy the fireworks!

 

Ya this is my first Harley. I know about the reputation for leaks but I just wanna make sure the one I have isnt gonna cause damage.

I just took it to the dealer this morning to have the service guys take a look at it. they believe its the horizontal gasket that connects the two cases and not the vertical seem. They made the problem seemed much more serious once I told them my bike wasnt covered under an extended warranty lol. A rough quote from the service manager was anywhere from 700 to over 1000 depending on which seem was the issue. I am just kicking myself in the *** hoping I didnt get someone elses problems.

 

how do you get photos to fit on this forum? maybe if i can get a few pics posted everyone could get a better idea of whats going on.

 

Probably not. Relax and ride.
