Default RSD Venturi A/C

Interested in purchasing a RSD Venturi speed 7 and I am wondering if the oil leaking problem is fixed. Any members out there still having problems ?

Never had the problem on mine. If you do get one and have the problem call PM and they will send you a kit to fix the problem free.

Thanks for the feed back. I have shopped around for the RSD 1010-0421 and the rain sock. I am a Chicago HD customer and got my best price from them. PM me with your best price as I am ready to order now. Also do you recommend the breather kit part# 1012-0071.

Don't worry about the oil leaking issue. That is a thing of the past. Our rep at PM assured us that their new kits no longer have this issue. They are engineered a bit different now to avoid any of the oil leaking issues that they used to have.

Hope this helps put you at ease.

Living in NY it rains often and hard. More rainy days in NY than Washington State if you can beleive it. Does anbody leave their bike parked outside at work in the rain with the RSD Venturi ? and have there been any problems ?
