I've got a '17 that is losing Trans oil to primary.

I'm just wondering if any '18 owners have noticed this yet............

On another forum there are reports of the '18s migrating oil just as the '17s...

The Tech Article, TA0022 mentions a list of 2018 models that may have the problem. It is basically the same models (along with a few anniversary models) that make up the 2017 list...

If Harley admits it's a problem, you'd better believe it's happening...

Have run a several on the dyno and they act the same as the 2017's do, yes they transfer.
