Oil Leaks covered under warranty?

My 2007 RKC did the same thing. I caught it and had it repaired 2 days before my original 2 year warranty expired. The service manager said it was a good thing that it happened during the original warranty because it would not have been covered under my extended warranty. Don't know if that's a fact, but that's what he told me. They do have to split the cases and replace the gasket.

I guess I've never understood why some Harley dealers have taken on the reputation of not wanting to do warranty work. They make just as much profit from doing things under warranty as they do with normal service work. In my younger days, working with auto dealers, most were chomping at the bit to take on warranty repairs. There was no selling involved.

Oh my god. Your Harley leaks? Say it isn't true. 
My '07 RKC started leaking tranny fluid at 14k and the primary started to leak at 22k. I never turned it in on warranty because, as a general rule, the dealer will *** up as much or more than they will fix.
As far as the extended warranty goes, it would probably cost you as much for the warranty and the attorney fees to force them to honor it as it would to just pay to get it fixed. Less hassle too.

It's done daily at auto dealerships. And they offer it, so why not? Playing by their rules.

Inner primary isn't too bad you can do it. Just pull the outer and inner primaries.
