ok 4986 miles and my primary is cracked. Had bike in shop trying to locate whats causing the annoying vibration in my floor boards. Crankcase checked out good. Then Tech found a crack in my primary near the oil plug. What is up with this? I started to buy a goldwing but have wanted all my life toown a Harley.Beginning to think I made a big mistake. To beat all I love my 07 EGC.

 

another guy fixed the same problem with JB weld awhile back.

 

Pay that much for a bike and use JB weld on it. Nope Harley is eating this one.

 

Sometimes stuff hapens. I have logged 40k with no such problem.Dont let it get you down.

 

Should be a warranty item. Also, a quick and easy repair. Everyone, sooner or later, will own a Harley. Enjoy it.

 

I told you not to use that 1/2" breaker bar on the drain plug but you wouldn't listen. Now you want to cry the blues? Waaaaaa! Waaaaa!

 

Just put that one in the **** happens file.

 

Yeppirs....sometimes bad stuff happens. HD will fix it, an' you'll be back on the road with a grin on yer face. Have 13k on mah '07 UC with zero problems, so ah'd say it ain't common...

 

Warranty should make it right.

Hack

 

by the way, the JB weld thing was joke. There was a thread last year that went on and on about a guy using jb weld toseal his leaking drain plug. he wanted Harley to warranty it when he could not get it out and found the leak was a crack and not the plug. The thread was a joke too, I think,just lots of people took it serious.
The chrome on my primary discolored and the dealer changed it under warrantywith no problem.
