Default Oil transfer

Bumpandrun, thanks for those words of advice, they are really helpful. as a four time Harley owner over the last 18 years, "If you did your homework before you bought an M8 you would know all about the MOCO F UPS". Makes us all just feel peachy...… CSM-H

10 oz in 10,000 miles. Doesn’t matter as we dump all 3 holes at 10 k....... never yet have seen and empty trans and they don’t need much. Ride on and skip the forums lol. It does happen more on some than others but if you change it ever 5 k you’ll never know .. If guys could check fork oil everyday they would have more to bitch about. If you did your homework before you bought and m8 you would know all about the MOCO F UPS.......Like when EVOs ate the cam bearings wiped out the case...or blew the lower base gaskets.....like twinks lost cam tensioner and ate motors . Nothing new you bought a expensive farm tractor.... that most guys tear apart and modify anyway... BMW is probably a better bet for the worry warts..

I'm the one getting screamed at by the guys that say fix it yourself.
