loosing oil
i checked the engine oil when i bought the bike in may a 2010 with 5000 miles from the stealer and oil was a little low he said its suppose to be low and i added to the hot full then after a i rode 1500 miles it was down 1/2 quart is this normal in hot weather there are no leaks and no smell of burning oil

My bike is earlier than yours, but I would be happy with half a quart in 1500 miles! I suggest you ask your dealer for an owners manual, if you weren't given one, or download one from HD's website, go to the 'Owners' tab.

The book for my 2011 Sporty says check when hot and fill to between the two marks. If the oil is at or above the full mark, then drain some. There are two and a half pages about it!
