What tuner?
Do you know where the hot oil level was set at prior to your ride?

hopefully it's just those loose piston oilers which can be permanently resolved..sorry and don't mean to speculate though..let you grieve for now

Do any of you guys know if the S+S oil pump and plate will solve the issue, Fuel Moto....looking at the kit on your site, what is your thoughts. I had a feeling I should have just done this kit with the cam but was hoping the stock stuff was sufficient. I'm not even sure is mine got the new 2019 cam plate with seal or not, I hear some early 2019's did not get it.

Do what Heatwave did and undo all the mods then bring it to the dealer for warranty

I don't know how many cross thread points I get for that one!

S&S states in the fine print something about not a resolution for sumping. I even read someone having issues with S&S and sumping. But the posts where people used a Feuling oil pump - they were happy camper posts.

If its leaking piston oilers the fueling pump must move a lot of oil to mask the real cause. Kinda like putting a 30A fuse in a 10A circuit, fixed

Quick, who did your cam? I would think they would be able to tell you if it had the new seal or not, or if they put it in? What tuner did you use, ie are you just going to do this yourself / at an indi, or is it going to be a warranty deal? What month was your bike manufactured?

Gonna call the shop that did it today to see if he recalls the plate, I know for sure he did not put a new one in. At this point I just want the right parts in it that will solve it, got too much riding to do and dont want to be thinking about breaking down when I ride. Build date is August 2018.

You more than likely do not have the latest and greatest pump with the seal. I would have to think the piston jet thing has been resolved by now. I had the sumping issue with my 2019 RGS that was built on 7/24/18 without the new pump.
Got 6k on her after new pump installed, so far so good. Wish you well!
