leak at damn rubber stator plug.
well more of a seep but crap it is a 2011 with 17000 miles. My 04 with 80,000 miles never seeped there and I read that these plugs were supposed to be improved. Still under warranty till end of August but I am wondering how many 2011's have started seeping there as it was supposed to have a new and improved design on that plug for 2011.

I had the same leak. I didn't bother with the warranty because I hate anyone touching my bike. I repaired the leak with a little black RTV (silicone). There's a detailed description of my repair in the following link. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-oil-leak.html

Had that leak on my 07 UC service plan took care of it but it was a can of worms and turned out to be a loose stator magnet which damage the SE compensator, rotor and primary chain front sprocket, without ESP it would been very costly.

Just had nine fixed under warranty, 2010 FLHX with 21,000 miles. Started with a seep and ended up a full blown leak with a small puddle on garage floor. One of my warranty claims.

how long did it take to go from a seep to a leak? I will most likely take it in before warranty is up in August just wondering what I have to look forward too. Being it is under warranty I will go the fix it route instead of the silicon route. So far the bike has not been back to the dealer since buying it. thanks Jeff

Yep Im with you on this one. Had same problem, only cost the $50 deductable. Dealer replaced without a hitch. Would have cost a ton without the ESP
