    Default Oil Migration and Harley warranty

    Last Saturday went out for a ride and did about 270 miles. Checked the oil in my trike and engine was fine, tranny was just touching the bottom of the full mark. This was on a cold engine. Came home parked the trike in the garage, yesterday I go out to check the oil because I was going out to day, engine fine tranny doesn't show on the dipstick.

    Go to my dealer and talked to service writers, was told to bring it in and we will check it. This morning I loaded it on my trailer and hauled it to the dealer and service writer say I'll call Harley and we will put the primary vent in. They had the kits on hand. About an hour and half later got a call from the dealer and was told Harley would not cover installing the vent kit.

    My bike had been flagged by another dealership that I had been to about 6 months after I bought my trike. I had installed the power vision tuner and Harley had cancelled my warranty. Was told today that the extended warranty WILL NOT cover the installation of the vent kit. So I bought the vent kit for $52 and change and I will be installing it next week. The dealership wanted $366 and change for the complete installation.

    LMAO: I resemble that remark! But nothing HD does now really surprises me. Just another example of "depends on the dealer". However I suppose that once any dealer puts you in the big HD computer in Milwaukee you are doomed as far as warranty work goes.

    I wonder if the extended warranty he said wouldn't cover it was the HD extended or from another ESP company?

    The last time i had my trike in for this issue the dealer said the factory would not ok the vent kit because there was a discrepency in the amount of oil in the primary and transmission.Then to add insult to injury i had to pay to have the two fluids drained,measured then topped off.I have owned only HD since 1990 and its sad to see where the company has ended up.

    Sorry too hear your factory warranty got flagged. Anybody who purchased a 2017 thru 2020 knows about the chance of a dealer flagging a vin number for add one like a non factory tuner. I also can understand why your extended warranty won't cover a service bulletin. Only good thing for you is kit is cheap,if you don't include price of quart of trans fluid, and easy to install.

    IMO, this is a design flaw and should be covered

    HD knew this would be a problem but rolled the dice

    This problem started as early as 2014 and continued til MY2019 when the factory decided to ship late MY 2019 with the vents

    O yeah. Everything changed when D&D bought in. Last bike I bought from them was a 12. Had a bunch of stuff changed (I paid extra for the parts ) SM tried to keep the take-offs. I raised hell with Sales Manager & they finally gave back to me. Told them if they wanted to keep take offs, pay for the parts I bought extra. Last bike I ever bought from them. Have bought 4 more new since then & never a bad deal.

    Jack, I, like everybody else, have read a bunch of post that have been made about this problem. Of course it became more of a problem starting with the M8 motors. I am just curious about what engine and models were thought to have this problem with the 14-16 year HD bikes. Was it a problem with wet heads or just random with all the 14-16 TC's?

    It is random, BUT confined to hydraulic clutch models starting with MY 14 and up

    Ray, that sucks about the HD/EPA warranty deal. Time to cancel that useless extended warranty and get one that will cover your trike, even with all the parts you want to put on it. Check with Jim Palmer at MotorcycleAgent.com You can see a write up on the warranty in this thread-

    https://www.triketalk.com/forum/thre...-Black-Listing

    Fortunately the install of the primary vent is fairly straight-forward (see video) and it works.

    That should still be under factory 2 year warranty, if you are having the migration issue get it documented @ your dealer

    There really seems to be NO pattern to which bikes/ trikes will transfer, I think this is very odd. My 15 nor my 17 Freewheelers do not transfer. Now I probably jinxed myself

    I feel so blessed when I read some of these comments.

    I bought a used 2015 TG with 158 miles from a Honda dealer. I didn't buy the extended warranty and did most of the maintenance myself since then. I have had friends tell me about the dealership horrors they have encountered. The only problem I have had to pay for was to have my reverse motor rebuilt at the HD dealer in Lafayette, Indiana. The local HD shops wanted $1700 for a new motor and more for the labor. The Lafayette dealer did it for just over $500 including labor.

    I have had 2 new front tires that the local Southside Harley shop put on and that has been it. I do my own oil changes, switched out my battery with a Battery Plus battery, changed my front brakes, and changed my radiator fluid. My TG has always fired up, always ran great, always been dependable.

    I guess God was just looking out for me since I really was such a fool about motorcycles. He made sure I got a good one!

Have bought 4 more new since then & never a bad deal.
    I like the Techs there and the current SM is a straight up guy,they never want to give me enough for trade in or i would have bought from them,my last three bikes came from Piqua,including my current bike.

    There really seems to be NO pattern to which bikes/ trikes will transfer, I think this is very odd. My 15 nor my 17 Freewheelers do not transfer. Now I probably jinxed myself
    I have not put a mile on this bike yet. But nervous about this problem. This bike only has

    20060 miles on it. ask sales rep who was really great by the way, said when the PO had it

    in for 1000 miles oil change nothing was noted. Question him about it and had all recalls

    and updates done. Maybe it will not happen. Most thing I've read said it happens within the first oil change? Will wait and see. Thanks for the info.
