Checked the oil while I stopped at a gas station and noticed small bubbles. I cleared the dip stick and tried again, and still bubbles.

What is that about? I've noticed the bike sounds different too.
The bike doesn't seem to rev as high or accelerate as quickly either.

 

If you fart in the tub you'll get bubbles too. Maybe the bikes just a little gassy.

 

Well..... Stop doing this to your 'harley' then.

HAHAHA!!!! I found that video when I was searching Youtube for "Harley bubbles in oil".

 

All vehicles produce bubbles in their oil! It's a function of pumping the stuff through the engine and doing all manner of indignities to it, while it lubricates and cools your engine. Stop prying and enjoy the ride!

 

Oil and air getting thrashed around in that big twin would most certainly produce bubbles in the short term. Let it sit awhile and I bet they all be gone.
