so i have a buddy that has a 2011 road glide that is having blow by issues and is getting a lot of oil in the air cleaner. At first i thought he had a lil to much oil in it, like most do when i have seen this but, this is not the case. Doesn't smoke or anything he is just getting a lot of oil blow by. Thoughts??

could be wear in the motor- miles?

a compression leak down test can help determine if it is wear.

but worn piston rings are likely to smoke white on acceleration

I will do a test. when i go over to look at it. He is around 35K on the bike.

 

Honcho,
Welcome to the Forum. Oil level is often the culprit, I keep mine halfway between add and full. You could also look at the Breathers:

A dirty or clogged air breather will result in excess oil being pulled from the heads as well.

 

I would check the umbrella valve . This happened to me and the rubber valve was brittle and cracked. This caused the valve not to seat and seal .

 

I had the same issue with my '11. On the next oil change I put about 1/4 of a quart less in the engine, and that solved the problem ....
