Howdy boys. I bought a 2013 Road Glide and it keeps spitting oil out of the breather or heads onto my exhaust pipe, any idea why?


Bakes right on... gonna be a b*tch to get that baked oil off with the oven cleaner tonight.

 

May have to much oil in it.I put in 4 qts and mine did that.3 and a half no more spitting out.

 

Like Steve said...I've read in here many times that oil will come out of the air cleaner if there's too much. Unless it's something else.

 

Oil comes out of the holes at the top of the engine which connects to the air cleaner. I have oil that comes out of both my road glide and my night train, no matter how much oil or how little oil, synthetic or regular, big breather air cleaner or standard KN air filter. I always have had oil come out the air filter. Thats what harleys do, i absolutely hate it and we can thank the EPA for that. I know there are aftermarket fixes but i won't spend money on it.

 

There's too much oil in the crankcase. Take at least a cup of oil out of the crankcase and see if it still pukes. If it does try taking a little more out. I imagine that the dealer changed the oil before you bought the bike and managed to over fill it by at least 1/2 qt.

 

What he said

 

Sorry, but you're not doing it right. You either have to much oil in the tank or you're over saturating the air filter when you oil it. Where does oil show on your dipstick?

 

Reaper spits oil out of her air cleaner if I fill her tank to the "Full" mark on the dipstick. Halfway between "Add" and "Full", is the sweet spot for her.

Cheers!

 

Many thanks! You guys are great!

 

Mine hasn't spit any out with the DK Outlaw 587 A/C ..
