New 2013 Softtail problem
I recently purchased a new 2013 Softtail Slim with the 103 cu in motor from a local dealership. At 68 miles I had to return it because it had a lot of oil coming from the front cylinder breather. The front head (jug) did not have any oil return passage holes drilled completely through the head. The dealership got a new jug from Harley and replaced it. That was all that they did to fix the problem. I am concerned that portions of the front portion of the motor (front cam bearings, etc) basically ran dry for 68 miles and that I am going to have some issues with the motor down the road. It does run fine now but I am concerned. This is my 5th Harley and I have never had a problem like this with any of them.

No introductions?
Tell your dealer you want a new bike, or sell it, or trade it in.
It is a new bike and is under warranty for 2 years, so if anything does happen in that time period you're covered, right?
What would you like to see done?
Oh, and welcome to the forum..
