Jack, Since the MOCO has been so mum on this issue, it is very hard to tell how many late 103's and M8's have been affected? The thing that does not make sense to me is that some folks are reportedly experiencing oil migration fairly early in the engines operation while others are experiencing this problem later with many thousands of miles on their motors. It just doesn't make sense to me in terms of what the actual problem is?
Here are Stonecolds words
I called Harley Davidson this morning. I wasn't able to get through to any kind of technical department, but I did talk to someone that sent me an e-mail so that I could send the information back to them. I also filled out the idea form they have on their website. In both instances I gave them as much information as I could on the fix. I don't know how it will turn out. I guess we'll have to see if they pick up the ball and run with it. Time will tell.

Does anyone know what the sling kit is.The dealer paper work i got when i picked my trike up said that after 700-1000 miles if oil is low they will send this kit.
The kit Harley had the dealer install was called a plug kit...#36300028......
And after they installed it , I didn't have to wait 700 miles , It only took 250..miles to go off the dip stick..As for me the point is mute.....I traded my 17 TG....And got a new 2018 Slingshot ,...

Good point, why do some do it and others do not. Early or late it has no clear pattern
I am guessing the MOCO does not fully understand this or are keeping tight lipped in hopes that many will not see this problem in the first 2 years the bike is covered under factory warranty?
My big question is If and when the MOCO does stumble on a cure is it going to be a Screaming Eagle up grade At our expense?
I have ESP for 5 more years, I hope I do not need it for this issue

Dang I been away for short while and back to reading this thread..
Man I would be P.Oed and still no results from MOCO.
Well guys hang in there
What a minute, ours work & you want to let the MoCo do an autopsy on them.
Jack, I wanted to mention to you that I was at 2 different dealers today & they both said they only have a few customers with the problem. They just don't seem to think its that big of a deal, based on the relatively few problem, percentage wise.
