First Harley
Hello All, First time post. I just purchase my first Harley 2010 Fat Boy and picked it up Friday March 5th. Bought this bike when returning from Iraq. I have had the bike in the shop to get an oil leak fixed with under 50 miles. Just got the bike back yesterday and the dealer said they fixed it. When I went out to the garage this morning the bike is marking it spot again this time with less than 150 miles.
My question is does this happen often with new bikes? At this rate I am glad I purchased the extended warranty, just annoyed that they 5 year extended warranty runs the same time as the factory warranty, if I knew that I would have bought the extended warranty when my factory warranty ran out.

what did they fix? I'm guessing the threads on the oil switch were leaking?
your bike shoul'nt leak anything, esp. a new one,they need to make that right,
Your factory warranty should be only 2 years,with your 5 year extended added to that for a total of 7 years,I beleive.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your new bike!
I have a friend that bought a brand new EG a few years back. Immediately had several different oil leaks....it was under warranty....and the dealer successfully fixed every one of them....the bike now has about 80K on it, and nary a problem. They'll get it right! They want you happy and waltzing back in that door buying lots of chrome doodads and accessories.

I have the paperwork at home, but the mechanic told me there is a plastic elbow the is attached to the rubber tubbing coming from the oil pan that was leaking so that is what they fixed. Not sure if that is where the new leak is coming from but will be taking it back to the dealer this afternoon when I get out of work.
That is what I was thinking that the extended warranty starts after the factory warranty, but talking to the Harley Dealer and to the military overseas sales people the first two years run together. So I spent $999.00 for only a 3 year extended warranty instead of the 5 I was told. Just want people to know when they get the extended warranty that they run together until the factory runs out.

Thanks all,
I trust the dealer because they have had great reviews here in Sierra Vista, Az just extremely annoying that the bike has been in the shop more days than I have had it and can not ride it right now.
