Nearly 30,000 miles on my '06 Ultra and my primary started leaking. Is this a common problem? I have the extended warranty so they will fix it for the $50 deductible. I guess I might as well have them put a chrome inner primary on since the labor will be free. When stuff like this happens it makes it cheaper to have accessories added. I think the labor is about $300 for this job and the inner primary is about $300, so I get this one at half price. I had the hydraulic cam chain tensioners and cams installed during a warranty deal also (stock cam chain tensioners went bad). Makes it much more affordable!

 

Not a common problem that I'm aware of. Good idea to go ahead and get the inner done while it's apart. That will look nice. Snap a photo for us.

 

Where exactly is it leaking from?

 

To be honest I haven't looked that close since I figure the warranty will take care of it. It looks like it is coming from a seal on the inner. It is only a drop or two when it sits overnight. It drips from a spot directly below the derby cover.

 

The primary is about the most common thing to leak on a Harley

 

The dealer wasn't surprised. In fact he said he sees a lot of them leaking.

 

WOW, it would be my luck that it would be the drain plug below the derby cover and I would just drop the bike off and the dealer would try and charge me storage fees then, LOL . Post pics of the new chrome when its done.

 

The Dealer found the Primary leak on mine last Fall.Had 25k miles at the time.

Fixed it under the Extended Warranty while I wait.

 

Be sure to check the shifter shaft seal while you have the inner off. Thats probably a more common leak than the primary is and a 5 minute/$5 change.

 

Had a leak from the leap seal since it's all open i put a inner chrome
