Seems like there is always one hater everywhere you go. You’ll be out on the road and stop for a meal at a little diner, park the bike and go in to eat. Along comes someone with a grudge and opens your oil tank and puts something in there to ruin your day. If everything is locked up on your bike, then you figure you’re good to go. Except for that chromed cork stuck in your oil tank. What is Harley Davidson’s thinking here. Other than they can’t develop a locking cap or nobody has ever had something put in their oil tank, I don’t know.
I just recently had something put in my tank, honey. Well this stuff mixed and heated up and ran through my engine just fine, but after the engine cool over night, bingo. The honey separated from the oil and coagulated up into a sludge and clogged everything. My oil filter gasket was the weakest point ,so I blew oil out of there first. Drained the oil and it poured out for a while and then stopped, it was plugged. Took the cam cover off and tore the guts out. This stuff collapsed and killed all the lifters, killed the bearings, and was almost solid on the bottom of the oil pan. NOTHING cleaned or removed this stuff except ammonia free window cleaner. All other cleaners (break cleaner, staring fluid, alcohol, degreaser ect.) turned the stuff kinda white and hard. The window cleaner cleaned it right out. So the entire system that the oil flows through was treated and cleaned and polished throughout. With new parts and a refill of shyt3 because it’s thin and has good detergents in it, started and ran the bike for 50 miles, checking it along the way. Drained the shyt3 out and refilled with 20w40 and ran it 200 miles and changed it again. It was good to go. I then put 1500 miles on it and changed it again. Still good. I’m back on the road again.
I found a guy in Ohio that makes excellent locking oil caps. I talked to him and out of the goodness of his heart, GAVE me an aluminum locking cap and shipped it over night to me. I ordered a chrome one ( GP-100C and will mail his aluminum one back. How’s that for customer service? These caps are machined and BULLET proof. No twisting, kicking, prying with a screw driver will get them off, you’ll break the case first. They are $151.00 but well worth the cost compared to the cost of fixing your engine. The maker had vandals pour sand in his tank, and I’ve heard of dirt, rocks, cigg butts, and now honey, molasses, soda. Well Kurt has a rock solid paten on it and Harley is done. They need to buy him out for a million and let him retire, and sell us bikes with locking oil tanks. Mass produce them and sell them for a HD…
Gang… check it out, I highly recommend them.
