I told the kid next door to sneak in at night and squirt some oil under your bike!! You'll never fix this leak!!!

 

hey good news!!!!! On the extended warranty covering the leak. I just discovered two day ago that my 09 egc (15,000 miles) has the same leak. It due for service so i will tell them of the leak and see what they say. I also have the extended warranty.
Wish me luck!!!!

 

I'd let the dealer deal with it. Wasnt there a service bulletin on this?

 

i do not know about the bulletin. I have been reading posts for two day and have not seen amyone mention anything about a bulletin for this issue.

 

What exactly was the work done to resolve the leak? Was all the work covered by the xt warranty?

What a coincidence! Just noticed / searched / cleaned / found the same leak on my '10 Ultra (has the same plug as the OP).
Been researching possible resolutions. My indie told me they had never solved this problem for any length of time without replacing the stator (we ran through the same 3 options in the OP).

I decided that over the next 2 days I was going to find the best silicone sealer that seemed most applicable to the task:
1- high heat; 2- oil / lube resistent; 3- bond rubber to metal; and go for it.

Oh, 37k miles and never a drip, drop, or leak until the last week.... not happy at the moment...

 

Stator was replaced, it is all one unit...wires & plug. Silicone should last until just after your warranty runs out lol.

 

Thanks Flamed - calling this morning....

 

Here it is !!

 

Im trying to understand how putting RTV between the engine mount flange and the plug will stop it from leaking?

 

Harley's don't leak man, they "mark their territory"!
