Primary Vent

andyjr11 · Aug 17, 2019

Just to keep everyone up to date, picked the trike up yesterday after work and put on about 100 miles. We put another 300 miles on today with a mix of interstate, 2 lane country roads and even a little city driving. Very happy to report that putting the vent on seems to have fixed my problem, did not lose 1 drop. I know that it's not a great test, but looks very promising.

I must add that my dealer went out of their way to make things right. They ask what oil I was using (Red Line) and replaced with the same, and did not cost me a cent. I hope things hold up , but right now I am very happy.

You and Kevin convinced me to try it and I'm glad you did. The pink stuff is amazing.

My 19 came worn it in there. Been checking and seem to have no issue with the oil migration. Happy to see that. I did not want a new Milwaukee 8 motor. But being forced onto a trike didn't have much choice. I am not a fan of used bikes.

I glad they took care of you.

I have had 3 different HD dealers tell me that if your having trouble shifting, switch to Redline.
