RE: primary leak.

To stop the leak,the outer primary cover has to come off for a new gasket..not a big job.Shifter mec., foot board etc,,,anything in the way .

While you have the cover off,its a good time to visually inspect everything and adjust the primary chain.Again,not a big job.Correctly torque the primary screws to avoid another leak.

RE: primary leak.

I have this same problem on my 2007 FLSTC. There is just a tiny spot on the floor under the primary drain plug after the bike has been ridden. Doesn't leak when cold. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

RE: primary leak.

It could be a seal for the trans output shaft. That happened to my 07 deuce at just 2500 miles. Same issue, after riding there would be a small spot on the floor right under the drain plug. My work was done under warranty so I'm not sure what the whole job will cost.

RE: primary leak.

Thanks for your reply! Hopefully mine will be under warranty too; 2007 with 17k miles. I'm planning to take a cross country ride in September so I better get it taken care of. How long did yours take to get fixed?

RE: primary leak.

It was originally estimated at 4 hours, but was more like 6. I was in Laconia NH for bike week this june and stopped at a satellite dealer. They had to visit their main shop for the parts, then I was back on the road. The best part was it was a crappy day for weather so it didn't spoil any good riding. Great bunch of guys that got me back on the road. It's the North Conway shop of Mereditch H-D if you ever get up that way.
