Its pretty much been the same dealer - once and that was the first ever service was done by the Edinburgh dealer where i bought the bike and that went like a delight but not so much after i moved to here

So final update - apparently the dealership and their supervisor contacted the main hq of Harley and they have denied any liability for repairs done by the mechanics for which I have been told I will receive a signed document. So at the end of the day to sort something like that out I will be going to court unfortunately .

Good Luck. I used to support my dealer but lately as times are getting hard they look for any reason to screw you. Used to be better that that. I will always ride a Harley but am getting weary of their business practice over the last couple of years. I'm glad I can work on my bike and don't need a dealer for that. Actually there is nothing I cant do to it.

Ah I see nah the oil is good I mean the issue has been there for a couple thousand miles now and I have topped up the oil in that time.
As for what the damage is - I`m not gonna be able to know soon. I am now in the process of pressing charges against Harley for negligence and then it will probably take another year or so for the court to summon and if i come out successful then they will hopefully fix it and tell me what the damage is. It is a shame tho now I will not be able to use the bike for unknown amount of time and it is my only bike or vehicle in that manner
