VROD leaked oil
#4
#5
So upon more investigation I found this. The oil filter was deformed so I though it was cause by a defaulted filter so I changed the oil and after starting it up it immediately did the same thing. Built up pressure, deformed the filter until it blew it out. Also there was some metal shavings on the drain plug and only 3000 miles since oil change. Now I will have a look at the oil pump hoping that I see the reason for the pressure release valve not opening. Any insight into this from other Vrod owners or HD mechanics would be appreciated.

So I replaced oil pump and found that the pressure release valve was seized.Still leaking oil so now I took it to the HD dealer. Output bearing on the trany gone so now the motor is out and plenty of scaring all over the engine.
Wow, WTF, looks like a new engine might be cheaper. How do you have a 2015 HD with 42k miles, all servicing completed on time and mostly by dealers now worth nothing!
