Hey Sock, are you having the transfer issue on an 18? Sorry for my confusion.....

Eagle Out

 

All touring bikes Steve, or have you seen it on softail a as well?

 

On my '17 FLTRXS, yes.

According to the dealer; I'm imagining it............

 

amazing......

 

I doesn't look like there are any changes so it only make sense that the problem would persist.

Looks like you need to show them the service bulletin. Not that they have a fix for the problem, but at least you'll get them to recognize there's a problem.

 

Told me they had two bikes come in for this problem. They had put dye in the trans and neither one had any oil transfer to primary.
I asked him; 'then where is the oil going'?
Silence.

I said, 'mine sits on a concrete floor when it isn't being ridden; no oil there.' 'And if oil was leaking out, wouldn't there be oil all under the bottom of the bike'?

 

As asked before - have you experienced this with the 18 softails?

 

AFAIK, the MoCo doesn't even know what's causing this issue, let alone the cheapest-possible fix for it.

Lots of info on other threads regarding it.

 

Typical!

 

I was told the same thing. The mechanic told me I was a hypochondriac and nothing was wrong.
