Hey, guys. New to the forum, here. 1st H-D. 23 Low Rider S. Got back from a ride tonight and was walking away from the bike when I noticed a cream colored O-ring laying on the engine case, as you can see in the pic. Any ideas? I was able to find one thread on all of google where there was one lodged behind the pushrod tube on another guys Low Rider S. Any help/thoughts appreciated.

edit: Bike is not leaking oil(idea mused from that other guys post).

 

Most likely dropped during assembly, if it belonged someplace and was not installed you would most likely had a leak.

 

Looks like it belongs in a pushrod tube (the middle O ring.)

Somebody dropped it, grabbed another one and kept on going.

 

Someone playing with you and put it there to drive you nuts. Welcome from New York.

 

How long have you had the bike that you're just noticing it?

 

^^^Agree^^^

Take your bike, the O-ring & your phone/pics to dealer Service Manager & at least let them have a looksee (IMO). If anything, it'll be recorded in bike's service record. Nothing leaking = you're probably good.

 

I know how it sounds. Had the bike 2 weeks, but the o-ring was not there that afternoon. I noticed it after riding home from work towards the evening.
