HD360 Turning Black
I’m not an oil expert but I do know that after some usage, bike oil (as well as a car’s) will turn dark. The issue I’m having is that after my dealer (good people) changed the oil in my trike (2015 Freewheeler with 103 engine), after 3,000 kms (approx. 1,900 miles), my HD360 oil is unusually dark, basically black. Don’t recall this happening to this extent, what would cause this to happen?

Sounds like some good feed back, I’m thinking yes it must be that the short rides and rich carb causing the oil to blacken up quickly.
And as for fuses and fuel pump…that’s on somebody’s else bike! This baby is stock and ready to rock( once I get her figured out 🤪
Thanks you all!
