Yes, they all leak. Good grief, take the Harley back, go buy a Shadow and be proud of the investment you have made. Lord, questions like this is why bikers beat "Harley riders" up.

Its not an oil leak. Its sweat from all the horsepower!
HA HA HA, thats the funniest thing Ive read all day. To think a 1450cc motor making max 75hp is sweating because it has alot of power
Next thing will be that a Hyabussa is a slow bike LMAO.

Another funny statement, "questions like this is why bikers beat "Harley riders" up. I think that statement is the stupidest thing Ive heard all day.

A 2006 shouldn't be leaking after 3 trips to a dealer.

My 2000 has never had a leak. My '77 has had 2 rocker gasket leaks in it's life.

My old '97 Fatty with 20,000 miles never had a single leak. My new '07 Fatty is dry as well.

My 1974 A.M.F. HARLEY superglide leaked so much I never had to change my oil!! IT was like a transfuison. One time this fine chick wanted a ride, and she was wearing a high dollar coat, and when we got back her jacket had oil splattered up her back!! COOL!! She left and the Bieotch never called me back!
