No, my bike!! 2006 Heritage Classic. It has not dripped a single drop of oil since I bought her used last year. Not a single speck of oil anywhere on the engine, not even the trans or the primary. It is completely dry, even the bottom of the engine. What gives? I thought Harleys had a reputation for dripping oil all the time? And does she run good? Marvelous, just marvelous!!

 

Sorry. my post should be moved to the correct area. Mea Culpa.

 

Harleys reputation of dripping oil was a pre 1980's thing.

 

Wrong hole???

 

The crank case is glued together with no gasket, the primary has a three layer gasket that has a slight V-shape. Both it and the timing chain side have some type of sealer sprayed on the gasket when assembled at the factory that makes it stuck together. When I check my tensioners at 30K, I took an old timer cover and drilled a 1/2" hole in the center for my sliding hammer to pop the cover off.

 

U need to get out more often,, Harleys haven't leaked for Yrs and Yrs.
Only people that don't know chit or own other another brand of bike still say that.

yeah your 30 years late to the party bro. Oh and a little spit goes along way.

 

Be careful bragging on anything mechanical.

 

Somebody should sneak over to his bike and put a spoonful of used oil under it!! We did that to a buddy of mine after he bragged about how tight his 'vette was. Thought he was gonna have a heart attack for a second there...

 

Well if it's any consolation to you, my '06 marks it's territory on a regular basis.
