I have a 2007 Road King Classic that I took for a loop last weekend. Near the end of the ride, the key light and the neutral light came on and stayed on. I have read where that issue is probably the neutral switch.
When I went to park it in my shop after the ride, I turned it off and then tried to crank it again. Right when it went to fire up, it spit oil out of the air filter. It cranked fine after that, and I rode it into my shop. Now, a week later, I go in the shop to check it out and there is oil underneath the bike (maybe a few ounces, but covers a decent area under bike). I'm not sure where it is coming from. The bike will not turn over either if I try to crank it.
Anyone had any of these issues or know where the oil might be coming from?
Oil under the bike isn't gonna help us help you. Get a flashlight and look to see if you can trace where the oil is coming from. Wipe it down then look again. Post pics so we can help.

Will do. Going to try and get a better look at it this weekend.
