Yesterday morning I decided that I would take a ride on my trike up in the mountains a little north of San Diego. Checked the oil in engine and trans. Trans. full engine just a tick below halfway. Take off and about 20 miles from home pulling a hill, it seemed that power was down a touch. Check the mirrors and it looked like I was smoking out the mosquitos. Blue smoke rolling out from both pipes, pulled off the roadway and had smoke billowing out of the air cleaner, oil running down the push rod tubes on the rear cylinder.
Left a spot of oil on the roadway about 12 inches in diameter and oil on he case between the engine and trans. Checked the oil level and had about a quarter inch on dipstick. engine was rattling pretty good when I shut it down. Call the wife and a tow truck. about and hour later the tow truck shows up but could not load from where I was parked. About a hundred feet from where I was a side road, so I started up the bike and it rattled like crazy for a couple of seconds and then smoothed out. pulled up the roadway and loaded the trike on the rollback. Got it home after a $185 towing charge. added about a quart of oil, started it again noisy for a couple of seconds and then smoothed out but still smoking badly pulled it into the garage.
Talked to a service writer at my dealer yesterday and told her about it and said that I had an after market air cleaner and a Power Vision tuner on it and she asked if I was on the Harley warranty or an extended warranty and told her an extended warranty, she said good they aren't as strict as Harley is about after market parts. Taking it into the shop later next week to be checked out.
Is there any way to tell from the power vision screen which is the original Harley map? I loaded a map yesterday that stated it was the map that was in the ECM when the power vision was married to the bike. Anyway I installed the Harley air cleaner and will be removing my Power vision before I take it in for service. The service writer told me that according to their computer that my original Harley warranty had been voided because it was reported that I had installed the power vision tuner.
Thanks
