can only over fill about 1/2 quart past 2 1/2. dont ask how i know

 

lol

 

My dealer put in 3 quarts on the 8,000 K service and oil started to drip from the air filter , I drained 1/2 quart , removed the air filter and cleaned the breather and now its ok . Next time I will change the oil myself so I'llknow its done right !

 

jkdavis22 is correct.
on the new 96's. I measured what I drained out, 2.25 qts. the other .25 was probably in the filter.

 

My 07 Wide Glide had the same problem. I got 8 miles from the dealer and oil began to spew from the air filter. I was told that this was caused by condensation in the motor from pushing it in and out of the dealer etc. A bunch of crap Im sure. It was probably over filled.

So 8 miles from the dealer on my new Wide Glide and 1 hour later I was headed right back to the dealer in the service van. I got some free stuff out of the hassle and I now have put 1000 more trouble free (knock on wood) miles.

One of the service techs told me that 3 others had been back for the same reason. Good luck with yours

 

Now i have an oil . It seems to be from crank case housing or piston risers. Further inspection I find it's actually oil pouring out of my intake. And not a normal amount. I returned to harley. Tell them the valve noise is top is loud. And now louder. Occasionally if I xcellerate during downshift or approaching a stip I can hear a very loud strong ting sound. Almost as if it's detonating. They inspect and tell me again. No problems. It' was 2 quarts over full causing the oil leak. I shook my head and drove away. And of course the valve noise is now loader. I'm now at approx 489 miles and I've started once again loosing oil thru my throttle body and the valve noise Is little loader . On top of that I decided to drain the oil. Just to see how much was in it. The oils thrash. There's metal flake and very dark substances swirling in the oil. Oh and there was less than 1.5 qrts in the motor. What do I d9. I do not believe it could be over full with only half the recommended oil capsity.
could this be a lifter hanging up or not building up all the way and forcing the oil to blowby instead of drying back. I'm guessing it's fully hydronic possible even a roller engine. There for there should nor be no low by" issue. Especially before its even broken in
I feel this is a larger issue that is not been diagnosed yet or yetley knows and don't want to eat the issue.
very unsatisfied with the service and the bike. Last harley I buy unless they make this right

Any suggestions or help

 

15 yr. revival! Hmmmm... very interesting... sounds like you better get into that dealership and tell them how the cow ate the cabbage.

 

Reading that made my head hurt. I hate to be that guy, but it's disrespectful to put so little effort into typing your question.

 

To say nothing of finding the right forum for his bike...

Pass...

 

I don't see how it could be 2 quarts overfilled, although your description is a bit confusing.
Couple of things. Your bike is under warranty, so bring it to the dealer. If you don't think your dealer is being helpful, take it elsewhere.
Also, your bike is not a Dyna.
