Didn't want to piggy-back the already existing thread on transmission oil migration.

I have religiously check my transmission oil level since my first week of ownership (2017 SGS) and have seen zero drop in the oil level. The bike has 1600 miles on it, RPM usage has been across the scale maxing at about 4500.

Just curious if I am lucky, (which isn't normally the case). The 3 dealers that I have talked with have said the only issues they have had, regarding oil, has been with the oil pump itself.

Have a great day!

 

No problems here. SGS built in December 2016. In the short time I have been riding HD, 13 years and three bikes, I have never had to add fluid before service was due.

 

On my Road Glide all was well until 4 to 5 months then I would lose about 1oz of tranny liquid a month. Maybe after the 4000 mile mark is when it started. Had the bike 7 months 6000 miles on it had to trade it back just didn't like the Road Glide. I am on a 17 Classic Ultra just creeping up on the 500 mile mark, i love the way this bike rides and handles. Will keep a good eye on the tranny oil but its completely different from my RG tranny is much smoother, motor much more quieter.

 

1500 miles since 1,000 mile service when I documented Trans level and no transfer so far. May 2017 Build date

 

Mine did not do it until it was run at 4,000 to 5,000 rpms . It took 1350 miles for it to migrate 1 3/3 -2 Ozs. Don't rely on dipping trans to notice the couple oz there is a lot of wiggle room in the trans check . Open primary with bike straight up you will see more than you put in there if it is doing it. Dealers do have a notice from HD on it and a list of checks and repairs to make. Nothing major but none the less it is happening.
Got mine back from deal yesterday .

 

3000 miles, stage II kit, and I ride this bike hard. No oil migration.

My KTM on the other hand is whole other story

 

Bought mine 9/16. None of the oil pump, leaks, sensor or tranny oil issues that's been posted here. Rode 1500 miles in The Rockies a couple weeks ago and had to run it hard a lot. Never checked tranny level til back home. Figuredif it had an issue,I was going to let it grenade and let warrenty fix it

 

Smitty, is is still doing it?

 

Is there any way you could get a copy of this notice?

 

What notice do the dealers have? Do you have a TSB#? Proof please, not just a verbal..........
