Is anyone else have problem with oil seeping back to crankcase from tank on Breakout after setting for two or three months? Will this cause problems with engine? Thanks

 

Not sure if it's a common problem, but I have seen it happen once on a friends bike. He just purchased a used 2003 Fatboy that sat at the dealer for a while, it ended up puking out of the intake, down the side of his bike and all over his right pant leg. He was told to put some miles on the bike, then check the oil hot and top off as needed. It did not do any damage to the bike.

 

My bike never sits that long ,but does have some oil drain down after being parked. After starting it and warming up all is normal. I'm talking cold checking at the bottom line on the dipstick, and rechecking about half up after warm-up where I run it.

 

On this bike it was all the way off dip stick had oil changed at dealer rode several times after change put up at start of winter (Indiana) check tank the other day before and nothing on stick. There must be a valve or something seeping or something it was at right level after change(synthetic)? Had bike since new and low miles on bike.

 

Virtually all softail do it. Some more than others.

 

 

Thanks for replys !!
