Oil coming out of air cleaner..
I've done some internet searches on this and cant find anything concrete on what the deal is with this problem. I have a 2008 Ultra. Recently, I've noticed some oil spots on my heat shield behind my right leg. And some drops on my right saddle bag. After freaking out a bit, I found the problem in the air cleaner. Basically, small drops of oil are being blown through the little air holes near the mounting bolts into the inside of my air filter. After a while, the oil accumulates and sprays when the bike is in motion to the rear of the air cleaner cover.
I took it to my dealer today and the tech said that its "normal." He said that apparently, my bike has this issue and that others with this same model have been coming in complaining. Hmmm.
Recently, the temps here in VA have gotten into the mid to upper 80's. I bought the bike in DEC of 08, so this is the first time I've ridden it in hot weather. I change my own oil using Amsoil syn 10W40. I've also checked my oil level and its good to go. My model of bike doesnt have the two little "S" hoses that routes oil back into the throat. Any info in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
