2017 Street Glide Special. Started getting oil out the air cleaner at 300 miles. dealer said its the oil level adjusting. (My ***) I put up with the mess until 860 miles and brought it in for the 1000 mile service early. They serviced it and cleaned everything up and said they put the correct amount of oil in it. Picked it up drove 25 miles home and I have oil coming out the air cleaner again, enough to drip on the motor and make a mess. Called the dealer they said Huh We have 2 bikes doing this now! I have been riding 50 years and this is my first Harley besides a Buell years ago. I can't believe they don't know what to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

Take a pint of oil out of the crankcase. Simply put, there's too much oil in it! You want it to register about half way up the dip-stick.
