07 R/G smokes when decellerating
Hello All:
New here but not new to riding.
Recently bought my first brand new Harley, a 07 road glide. I am learning to live with the tin can rattle noisethe bike makes but just recently noticed oil puffing out the left exhaust pipe when islow down and getoff the throttle. It doesnt smoke at idle or when i throttle it up. Has only 600 miles on it with rheinheart true duals, S/E controller & S/E A/C.
I checked the plugs and they look nice and grey. Also seemed to notice this only happens when the motor is hot after riding a while.
Local H/D mechanic says dont worry about it but like i told him, I have a custom with an S&S 124 and it never has smoked like this.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks

Yep, use avery good quality oil in it and change the filter.
Put about another 1000 on it and then recheck it, give the rings a chance to seat.
Then if persists do a compression reading.
Then if need be force the issue.
could be nothing but could end up something

Hey guys thanks for the replies.
I have been watching the oil and NO consumption at all.
I did the break in as the dealer told me, varying the speed and rpm's. I been watching both plugs every day and no sign at all of oil on them. From what i was told by the dealer, they did dyno the bike after the sert was done but i have no paper work proof to prove it.
I did notice today while riding in cool weather it took some time for it to puff out a little bit of smoke which had a terrible burn smell to it. First thing tomorrow i am going to change the oil and see what happens.
I'll keep yah posted
Thanks Again: John

Any suggestion helps.
positive not a leak, and definately out of the left muffler. I have had a few friends follow me close and it happens when i slow down.
not all the time and only when the motor is real hot.

yes, put it on my lift and checked the entire bottom of the motor and frame.
I was thinking the same as you especially when i could smell it burning but definately no leaks anywhere.
I think i will change the oil tomorrow and see what else happens. If it continues then back to the dealer i go.
