Picked up my '19 FLTRU on Monday and confirmed all levels were good before driving it off the lot. Checked the trans again this morning and at 351 miles it was 3/4" below the bottom of the dipstick. I rode straight to the dealer and they didn't even look at the bike, just ordered the vent kit and gave me an appointment to get it installed on Sunday. Seems like the jumping through hoops days are coming to an end.

same here, 7500 miles and they send me home telling me it is in an accceptable level. mine aint going down that fast but in 5000 miles it transfered about 6 oz as far as I could tell from draining and measuring

But I also know many that have had no issues. It goes back to the old if it aint broke don't fix it, in my mind. Just came back from a 3,000 mile ride. Some high speed riding and some 97 degree heat. I checked it about half way by opening primary and looking . Right where it should have been. Then checked it again when we got home all good.

This ^^^
Have 23k on mine and no transfer.

How many other threads are you going to resurrect to say this useless info? This is number 4 so far

He got banned several times only to resurrect under new aliases to push his bullshit “fix”. Which voids your warranty. On the spot if it’s spotted.

Mine was transferring small amounts, just had it done. Now the Service dept.is doing if you mention fluid transfer. Its nice not to fight with them over updates!
