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...

Do it after the rally assuming it's a minor leak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 By primary does it mean it's between the engine and gearbox? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that depends on how much they charge per hour, I'll let buck answer that one. Never don't one myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would cost you a fortune but i expect Buckster will do it himself, that's the benefit of knowing one end of a spanner from the other 4 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...
