Buckster Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I know you all think Harleys all leak oil but that just the usual bullshit. I have however found an oil leak and thought it was just my primary cover gasket but it turn out it is the inner primary gasket which is a pain in the arse and means no rally this coming weekend. Not a difficult job as such but a long one as it means stripping the entire primary out. I guess it gives me a chance to inspect everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I just flicked through a vid on you tube of said job. Lots of "while it's in bits" parts to replace which don't look very cheap. Could use a few special tools too but nothing that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer would charge £500 plus I imagine. All I plan on replacing are the inner and outer gaskets and the stretch bolts and the tensioner shoe. Unless I find anything I feel the need to do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
